Corea, República de - Union registration refused, website blocked

By May 2016 the Korean Government Employees’ Union (KGEU) had still not been registered. It was first denied registration the Ministry of Employment and Labour (MoEL) in 2013, owing to a provision in its bylaws recognising the union membership of dismissed workers. KGEU members are not able to access to the union’s website at the workplace as all the government agencies have blocked it. This makes it extremely difficult for the union members to share information about union activity.
