Dec.1, 2004 Znet stated the following: The Equality Trade Union-Migrants Branch(ETU-MB), a trade union of largely undocumented migrant workers in South Korea, ended its 380 day long sit-in in front of downtown Seoul's Myeongdong Cathedral on Sunday. Their sit-in had started on November 15, 2003 to protest the government's crackdown on undocumented migrant workers...

About one year earlier Base21(참세상's former English section) reported the following: Since more than one week ETU-MB (Equality Trade Union-Migrants Branch) activists and their allies from KCTU (Korean Confederation of Trade Unions), Hanguk Migrant Worker's Human Rights Center, Incheon, Nepal Struggle Team and KASAMMAKO (Alliance of Filipino Migrant Organizations & Migrante Sectoral Party - Korea Chapter), are occupying Myeongdong Cathedral's compound downtown Seoul.

2003.12.15, one month after the beginning of the sit-in struggle, we created a special home page(*) to inform about our daily activities, the national/int'l solidarity, our upcoming (internal/external)projects/plans and the press review in the S. Korean (bourgeois)media.

* Our daily news(etc.) you'll get on "fash news"(the first contribution you'll find on page #9). We also published (at least)hundreds of photos, depicting our sit-in struggle. You'll get them @"picPDS". The first contribution "nov 15, begin of our sit in struggle on myeongdong cathedral's compound" you can see page #48.

PS. Before Dec. 15 we published our (english)daily news on ETU-MB's home page(please check out "News&Dates", page 13, article #15).
