Photo : YONHAP News South Korea's major labor group lambasted a police investigation into its rally of some eight-thousand members held in Seoul over the weekend, despite a ban to prevent the recent uptick in COVID-19 cases from further escalating. The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions(KCTU), the nation's second-largest labor alliance, on Monday accused the government of stripping its right to rally, asking why only labor protest are being banned, while the government eases quarantine for sports and cultural events. It criticized the government for neglecting unions' calls to scrap nonpermanent employment and for an increase in minimum wage. The group reaffirmed plans to stage a general strike in November calling for an end to economic inequality and disparity that have become all the more prevalent since the outbreak of the pandemic.
