South #Korea Martial Law and WelsonJS Project

Today in Labor History December 12, 1945: The U.S. Army Military Government (USAMG), which occupied and controlled the southern half of the Korean peninsula from 9/8/45-8/15/48, outlawed the People’s Republic of Korea, which was occupied by the USSR. The USAMG banned strikes and opposition movements and starved civilians, leading to a deadly cholera outbreak and exacerbating popular discontent. Less than a year later, the Communist Party organized a General Strike. Deadly repression against the strikers further worsened discontent, leading to the Daegu and Jeju uprisings, in which thousands of workers were slaughtered by Korean forces, directed by U.S. advisors. In Jeju, up to 30,000 people, 10% of the entire population, were executed.

GENERAL STRIKE ANNOUNCED

Trade union confederation announces general strike

The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) has announced a general strike in response to Yoon’s declaration of martial law and called for the president to resign, according to Korean media.

“We will go on an indefinite general strike until the Yoon administration steps down,” the union said in a statement.

The union drew a connection to the martial law order and previous efforts by military forces to undermine democracy, which often included attacks on organised labour.

“Martial law was the means chosen by Park Chung-hee, Chun Doo-hwan, and the military dictatorship to destroy democracy and human rights in order to extend their power,” KCTU said

Sapsali , the dog in Korean TV-drama "Alchemy Of Souls " .

"A dog that chases away evil spirits and misfortune".
Sapsali has a rich history going back to Silla , 230 AC.
Kept by aristocrats first, later by commoners.
Appearing in many legends and myths, almost extinct in the 1990 ' s
Saved by Dr. Ha Ji-hongs, who brought it back from the last 8 dogs remaining.
Sapsali is a protected race now.
