Yesterday the migrant workers' rally to prepare the International Struggle Day of the Working Class/"Mayday"(*) took place in downtown Seoul. But alas only The Hankyoreh newspaper - as far as I know - "reported" about it (see below)...

Migrant workers maintain a picket line for the right to work and against the plan to reduce migrant workers’ minimum wages in Cheonggye Plaza, Seoul, April 26.
   The Korea Federation of Small & Medium Business has tried to reduce the minimum wage of migrant workers. Foreign workers feel as though they are being treated unfairly. The South Korean government has deported foreign workers who have not found replacement work within two months of being fired.

Some more pictures from the "event" you can see here and here!

* The "Mayday" in S.K. is just an ordinary workday. So migrant workers have to work on that day - even it's a Friday - until the "bitter end" (between 6 and 8 p.m., at least)!
