Labor movement of South Korea information


International Workers' Day 2014 at Taehwagang station, Ulsan

The labor movement of South Korea consists of multiple labor movements and organizations that advocate for the rights and well-being of workers. Organizations have emerged with differing political ideologies and methods on how to achieve their respective goals in relation to these workers' rights. South Korean organized labor is also active in other movements, allowing for solidarity between organizations.[1] The movement originated in the 19th century while under Japanese rule as a way to organize workers.[2]

Later, the movement developed alongside the growing working class.[3] The movement employs a variety of methods as a means to bargain. Since its inception, multiple unions have been created to advocate for workers.
