hello, how've you been? It's (...). Do you remember the song team, Jeong-Myeon-Dol-Pa? I'm one of the singers.(the only female voice) I heard you be arrested and deported by immigration... So sorry. And I also read you message. Yes, we must fight against our enemy. You know Ansan migrants' culture festival will be 11th. Last festival was so big~ but this time? Well, I don't know. We will have on Aug 28. As you know we have a propaganda before and while the festival. Hmm.. May I ask you a favor? You told me that you have a Chinese friend who can speak and write in Korean and Chinese. Until now a volunteer of Ansan Shelter had translated Korean into Chinese three times. From now on it's hard to do it. We're looking for the person who translates Korean into Chinese. Let me know her/his e-mail address or telephone number. I hope you will check out this mail as soon as possible. Take care~ Solidarity, and this i did right now (i sent it to 4 addresses in HK&taiwan): dear colleagues, friends of mine (http://blog.jinbo.net/CINA ) in s. korea are active in the struggle of migrant workers. for the next sunday they are planning a culture festival. for tis event they want to distribute a leaflet in chinese language. is there a possibility that you translate this (until tomorrow, sat.EST)? it would be a really great help for us!!! here is the text: Our Last Hope, MTU (Migrant Workers? Trade Union)! Since living in South Korea, we have been having such painful days. Being treated so badly in the workplaces, we sometimes wished to go back home; however, we have no options but to stay here because of an enormous amount of money which we borrowed to come to Korea.

Nevertheless, we are still people to be given help and we are still strangers who have no basic working rights. From now on, we finally began to struggle for our labor rights. We began to fight against Ministry of Justice who is human-hunting us by making strange EPS. We also began to fight against our employers who give us such low-wages and make us to heavy work for many hours. Eventually, we revealed our miserable reality of migrant workers and went on a sit-down strike in Myoung-dong Cathedral. We also made Migrant workers Trade Unions to collaborate each other. MTU consist of workers from Nepal, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Phillipines, India across Seoul, Kyoung-ki-do and In-cheon and join with Korean Confederation of Trade Union. In addition, We also demand for legalization of non-resistered migrant workers and Work Permit System and concentrate on struggle for legislation with Korean Democratic Labor Party and several civil organization Have a close look at Employment Permit System (EPS)! The EPS which passed on July 31th 2003 pushed our migrant workers in a deep despair who just hoped to work legally. Korean government is proud of their humble achievements by crying out that they permit our employment and admit us as legal workers. However, the truth is that EPS advocates the half of our working rights and EPS is to deport long-time stayed migrant workers. The Work Permit System(WPS) which MTU try to attain is the system which enables us to work legally with no danger of deportation. Employment Permit System Work Permit System Non-registered workers Permit workers stayed less than 3yrs to work 2 yrs more->workers stayed more than 5 yrs have to be deported. Withour nay restriction, work is legally permitted. Right to change workplace Cannot change workplace. ->Needless to say, if we don't adjust, we are fired. Able to change the workplace After Employment Permit System... After EPS, our working condition is getting awfully worse, cutting down our wage and being kicked out of the dormitory. EPS allows employers to make work-contract annually, therefore, our rights cannot be protected. Henceforth, migrant workers are choosing to be illegal workers rather than to be a legal slave. Migrant workers also want to choose in the place where we want and to be guaranteed three basic working rights and four working insurances. Unfortunately, the national policy is for the sake of people in power and money. Nevertheless, our future lies in our unity and solidarity. Only organized workers struggle can abolish EPS and achieve WPS! after i met today the woman who want to translate the leaflet i wrote this: mi anh hae yo... ...but the translation is in process. i made some small corrections, but i hope it is ok. how was the culture festival??? lpease check out this phone number: ... he (...) is chinese teacher. if i remember well, he was/is also supporting the struggle of cheol-go min (ilsan/pung-dong). i'll send him later also a mail (everything is sooo slow and expensive here...). in solidarity chr.

The Work Permit System (WPS) which MTU try to attain is the system which enables us to work legally with no danger of deportation. What means Employment Permit System for us? Here just two examples: As workers we have only our man power to sell, and we have to it as expensive as possible. But we have no right to change the work places ? it means we?ve no right to get a better paid job. If we change the work place, we are getting automatically illegal. EPS means that we?re allowed to work 3 years in S. Korea. But it needs a yearly renewing of the visa... and we get it just with the agreement of our employers. But if we?re active for our labor rights, for instance, the employers will not give an agreement for a new visa. And on this way we?ll be illegal too! Work Visa ? this is, what we need! We, the activists and members of Migrant Workers? Trade Union, are struggling since several years for a Work Permit System, which is allowing us to work in S. Korea, without any restrictions for at least 5 years!! After Employment Permit System...

ABOLISH EPS! WE WANT WPS!! LET?S FIGHT TOGETHER FOR A WORLD WITHOUT EXPLOITATION AND OPPRESSION!!

Y'day's "The Korea Times" wrote: "Seoul City said Monday that it will spend 180 billion won ($176 million) to support low-income families..." (the full article you can read here).

 

But on the same time together with the construction mafia they destroy the basis of existence for thousands of families, such as in Cheongjin-dong or Samgag/Suha-dong

Today my 3^rd week in Exile was beginning and now I also finished (nearly) all my “duty” stuff.

 

First of all I was running around nearly the entire week to get my unemployment money and some other social stuff. THEY BUILD BUILDINGS FOR MILLIONS OF EURO/$, BUT THEY TREAT THE PEOPLE LIKE SHIT&RUBBISH... LIKE EVERYWHERE IN THE F... (haha, there is no other...) CAPITALISM...

Before y’day I saw a poster about a street party on Sat. in our neighbor district. Around five years ago I was the last time there on this kind of party and as I was remembering the stuff was really shit (just a few complete drunken punx, bad music...). But y’day was the 15^th anniversary?of the occupation of the first houses there (after the GDR gave up) and the event was much more better as expected... and I was so angry that I had no (video)camera (for to make a contribution for MWTV), but because of the days before ?running around to solve my own problems of existence ?to get my camera was the last problem I had...

So y’day I just was busy to get in contact with people who took pictures or video shots ?so, nothing with enjoying on the event... And there were sooo “beautiful” (I know you all would like it!!) pictures to shot... But hopefully the people I was contacting they will send me some stuff... you’ll see it soon... or not. Wow, and I got a contact with a Korean woman ?actually she’s German, but adopted ?and she want to go soon in the “country of her birth”... and she want to have my help to get some contacts and to learn some basics of the language (!!!???...haha).

 

Today was the same thing: in my neighborhood was a protest against the governmental crackdown against wall paintings (they call this in German “grafitti”) in the city. But I got in contact with a U.S. team, who made video shots ?just let’s see...

 

Today also the Anti-War Festival (or what ever) organized by “All Together” finished. Is there someone who joined it and can give me a kind of report/summary? In the last two days I was thinking several times about it, especially (see the present situation in Brazil!!!) their factor in the movement. Later this week (perhaps) I’ll write it more concrete!

 

Well, I think it is all for today....

 

 

I Think There will be no help from other camera/video activists...

Today "All Together" is beginning it’s forum against the war and so on...

In fact it’s necessary to discuss about strategies and tactics to create a peaceful society, but actually I’m not sure if this are the right strategies and tactics.

The situation in the Middle East of course is important, but I really don’t see the importance for the Far East, for S. Korea. First of all, we were not able to prevent the deployment of S. Korean troops to Iraq, and it is doubtful that we have the power to change it (DLP, KCTU and other “left” organizations... undoubted have no interest in this case, the experience was teaching us...) in the present time. And beside some small (“insignificant”) groups no one in S. Korea was trying to get in contact with ... groups, such as female liberation, or trade union organisations. I mean never I was reading something about it...

 

If I was reading well the last day’s S. Korean newspapers there could be a significant change in the N.K. political behaviour against the South (see what was happen in the last days since Sunday...). Am I right?

If I was reading well the DPRK has big problems after last “6-party-table-round”. In contradiction to the reports in the ROK the U.S. side see it more as a failure (read this).

 

So the DPRK must try to react for to prevent possible U.S. sanctions and what they did during the last days in the South... it was just clever and smart... But at least for the “left” in the South it must be a very strange challenge and we should react soon (until now I have no real ideas, but perhaps soon...).

 

How the North can react? To prevent U.S. sanctions they could move closer to the South and many people and groups/organizations here would like it... but some one is thinking about what’s on the end....?

 

This are just thoughts, but we should think about it very seriously, otherwise....

 

Soon it will be continued...
