Yes. We can say that information is easily available. As I said earlier, the International Trade Union Confederation produces an annual report that lists violations of human and union rights. If you want a copy of their report, I can get you one. The organization, I feel, is concerned about the fact that when basic rights are under attack, especially those of the ILO, the workers bear the brunt of the comparative advantage. But this comparative advantage from the trade that the workers make possible is not real.This is a great concern for trade unions in all countries, not just in Korea. This is why we are calling for basic rights to be respected. If they are not, that very fact means that some companies get an advantage and that competition is unfair.
