MTU's chairpersons' speech on the Migrant Workers MAYDAY rally in Seoul:
Good afternoon everyone!
In this Mayday celebration, I got inspiration from a story that I have read one time.
Imagine me eating a delicious piece of bread. You saw me enjoying that piece of bread and you can only imagine how delicious it might be because you are starving. I knew that you haven't eaten for a few days but I never wanted to share it with you even if I could buy another one. Instead, I threw it on the floor, spat on it and kicked it towards you. Then I ordered you to eatit. Would you eat it? Would you eat that spoiled bread?
What choice of action you do next, determines who you are. The person who eats that piece of bread no longer has dignity. He is a slave. He will settle for crumbs that are thrown his way and he will feel very thankful for it. Even though he was abused for it. Even if he served for it.
The person whose dignity is intact would not stand for this oppression. The person with dignity will work for that piece of bread with diligence and passion. We can work hard for it so we can earn it. The person with dignity would fight for that bread if they are denied of it. The person with dignity would defend it if someone tries to take it away.
That person is us. The bread is our Rights. We should not beg for crumbs. We should work for our full Rights or fight for it because Rights are not given, they are won.
The more people who work together, the harder we work, the faster we will achieve. Together, we can erase all lines that divide. The regular workers from the irregular workers, the locals from the migrants, the men from the women. We will erase the divide of nationality, religion, skin color and gender. We will stamp out all forms discrimination and racism. We will stand up for our rights and we will be victorious in taking back our dignity.
We are migrant workers, we are not your slaves!
We are workers, workers are one!
Stop crackdown!
Achieve legalization!
