[asia-apec 239] Re: 1996 KCTU National Workers Rally

[Pharis Harvey]

Dear Brother Kwon and KCTU Sisters and Brothers,

I regret not being able to be present with you today in your national 
rally, but send you strong greetings of solidarity and support.  
Korea is at a pivotal point in determining its future, whether it 
will move toward democracy in industrial relations, or whether it 
will slide back down the slippery path to repression.  Your firm and 
unified insistence on a labor reform that moves Korea toward 
international standards rather than away from them is very important.

Please let us know what we can do to be supportive of your efforts.

In solidarity,

Pharis Harvey
International Labor Rights Fund
