Dear Brothers and sisters,

This is Daewoo Joint Struggle Headquarters.

President Kim Dae-jung expressed only his regret not apology. Moreover, he police emphasized that the laborers leaded the violent suppression. The police fabricated the video inventionally. There were lots of errors. It was proved by the Public Broadcasting in Korea KBS (Korean Broadcasting System)

Like this, now the government and the police didn't approve the blames and apologize on their default. On the contrary, they tried to find and issue the laborers' blot for oppressing workers.

Here is the Korean Government and Police. This is the Kim Dae-jung's government who have said that he wanted to make the nation by People.

We need your help. There are many hurts, so we want many fund etc. If you can help us, please send some fund.

Daewoo Joint Headquarters

Statement of Daewoo Joint Struggle Headquarters April 13th.

The Kim Dae-jung Government should take fundamental responsibility for April 10th brutal suppression on Daewoo workers! Punish the Commissioner of Police Agency and others responsible for the violent suppressions of April 10! Immediately release the workers arrested, wanted by the police, taken to the police station! Immediately reverse the massive layoffs of 1750 workers!

Stop the sale to GM!

1. Inchon District Court ruled on April 7 that management should not prevent members of Daewoo Workers Union, KCTU(Korean Confederation of Trade Unions) from accessing to the Labor Unions office.

2. Despite of judgement by the court, the police, on April 10, violently wielded their clubs and shields on lawyer Park Hun and workers including unionists, who were protesting that it was illegal for the police to ban them from entering the Union office. This resulted in 40 injuries, 21 taken to the police station and lawyer Park Hun is hospitalized for a fracture of a pelvic bone caused by the police.

3. The government is just trying to conclude this by releasing the head of the Bupyong Police Station from his position. Bupyong Police Station is under Inch'on Metropolitan Police Agency. This is not a right way to solve the problem. All those who are responsible for the violent suppressions on April 10 should be immediately arrested including Commissioner General & Head of National Police Agency Lee Mu-young, commissioner of Inch'on Metropolitan Police Agency Min Seung-ki, head of Bupyong Police Station Kim Jong-won and the head of Inch'on riot police, etc.

4. Police brutality on April 10 is not just a problem caused by the policemen using violence but they illegally interfered in the execution of workers' official duties ruled by court. So, the government should immediately guarantee unionists their access to the union office in order to solve this problem completely .

5. For this, first, police troops deployed around Bupyong plant should be withdrawn. Thousands of the policemen stationed in and around Bupyong plant for over 40 days since February 19 have been abusing human rights, committing violence. Besides, Daewoo Motor has been paying for the police, wasting money that should be spent in normalizing the company. Gangsters, also paid by the company, should be withdrawn. The government should immediately release workers arrested, wanted by police and taken to police stations.

6. The government has never taken reviving the company into consideration but insisted on overseas sale. As a part of meeting demands for overseas sale 1750 workers were sacked. However, Daewoo Motor's overseas sale will trigger several problems. In case Bupyong plant is shut down, Inch'on citizen's tax will be raised by 30% and the nation's economy as well as Inch'on economy will totter again. When the company's sale to GM is bleak now, the government should immediately reverse the layoffs of 1750 workers and find ways to resurrect the company.

7. Joint Struggle Headquarters against Daewoo Motor will take the lead and fight in order to arrest those responsible for violent suppressions, scrap the company's sale to GM, and abolish layoffs.
