Apparently the workers' situation in South Korea is terrible. There are reports of trade union activists commiting suicide to attract attention to the [[workers' rights]] situation in South Korea. see [http://www.kctu.org/ Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) web site] for more information | Apparently the workers' situation in South Korea is terrible.

South Korea has propably the longest workweeks in all the developed world with 6-day weeks with 44 hours average working time. There have been rumors that South Korea will be switching to 5-day working week in 2005 but there is yet no confirmation on whether this is true. | |||
