The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, or K-C-T-U, has failed to rejoin South Korea's Presidential Tripartite Commission which discusses deals between the government, management and labor. <br />While the confederation hosted a general assembly of representatives on Monday,...where some one-thousand members engaged in an intense debate,... they rejected all three motions to rejoin the social dialogue body.<br />The KCTU withdrew from the Tripartite Commission in 1999 to protest against the government’s introduction of the dispatch worker system and arbitrary dismissals of workers. <br />
