Today 220,000 workers joined our nation wide strike and 20,000 gathered in Seoul...

Students joined with class boycott...

...and famers in rural area and small shop owners in cities stop their work as well.(source: KCTU, 11.30, 20:00KST)

A short while earlier KCTU reported(via facebook) the following: Hundreds of thousands of Korean workers, farmers, students, street vendors and other Koreans are taking part in general strike and day of civil disobedience right now calling for Pres. Park's immediate resignation. We have stated clearly we wont accept Park's plan to have the national assembly debate and come up with a plan for her resignation, buying time for conservatives to regroup. We are calling for Park's immediate resignation, abolition of her anti worker and anti democratic policies and punishment for the politicians and chaebols involved in the corruption scandal surrounding her.

First (related)reports in Korean you'll get on LabourStart!
