Torn down fence

Listen

Parts of fences surrounding the National Assembly lie on the ground after being torn down Wednesday by members of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) who attempted to infiltrate the Assembly building. They were protesting a plan to revise the Labor Law to allow a more flexible work-hour system. About 20 members, including KCTU head Kim Myung-hwan, were taken into custody at nearby police stations. / Korea Times photo by Oh Dae-geun
