Sit-in struggle 30days and president's hunger strike 18days. We visited Suwon jobcenter and Suwon immigration office to solve some cases. Still, unpaid wage problems make migrant workers suffer. Even many employers hold migrants' passports and ID cards, not registering to the immigration office, so later migrant workers have to pay huge fine. Those are very absurd. We still have much things to struggle against.
In the afternoon, KCTU Seoul council leadership visited and in the evening, Seoul general union steering committee members visited us. General union gave us support fund. Thank you.

 The Migrants Trade Union has been conducting a sit-in protest at Hyangrin Church in Myeongdong since July 13 to protest the South Korean government’s unjust crackdown against undocumented migrant workers. 
MTU’s President began a hunger strike on July 25.
This act is an earnest call for an end to the criminalization of and repression against undocumented migrants’ rights. We ask for you solidarity and support.
 
Please send messages of solidarity to: migrant@jinbo.net*
Please post news of the sit-in protest on your website.
 
 
* Every Friday there is a candlelight vigil against the crackdown in front of the Myeong cathdral.
