New SKorea union leader says he will call national strikes in 1-2 mths SEOUL (AFX-ASIA) - The newly elected president of the Korea Confederation of Trade Unions said he will call nationwide strikes in one or two months to defend job security. Lee Kap-Yong, a labor leader at Hyundai Heavy Industries Co Ltd, won the KCTU presidency late Tuesday. He said he will organize the strikes in protest over widespread retrenchment amid South Korea's economic crisis. "After finishing the reorganization of the hierarchy of the KCTU, we will stage nationwide strikes in a month or two to win job security and to protect our right to life," Lee told a news conference. He said the government and employers have reneged on a tripartite agreement struck in January, and workers are taking on a disproportionate share of sacrifices while the chaebol have been slow in implementing reforms.
