The Korean Women's Trade Union: Mobilizing women workers

Namhee Park

Development, 2009, vol. 52, issue 2, 246-250

Abstract: On behalf of the Korean Women's Trade Union (KWTU) Namhee Park describes the achievements of the KWTU in mobilizing women workers. She describes the nine-year experience of KWTU as an important model to organize and empower the temporary women workers. Through the activities and struggles of KWTU, women workers, who were separate, scattered, easily replaced, lacking confidence to change bad working conditions, are now raising their voices, and exercising the collective influence to change their situation.
