By The KTU is looking for advice to improve their organization:
A series of recent scandals involving its members has forced the progressive Korean Teachers and Education Worker’s Union (KTU) to start soul searching and the 20-year-old organization is looking to be reborn through advice from outside professional consultants.
The reform move came after its members were implicated in sex scandals this year.
Early this year one of its member was a victim of sex assault by an executive of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), the nation’s second largest umbrella union.
KTU officials forced the victim not to raise the issue and attempted to cover up the incident. This cover-up attempt later forced the entire KCTU leadership to resign en masse to take responsibility. In addition, three of its members recently sexually harassed trainee teachers in Anyang City, Gyeonggi Province. [Korea Times]
Here is a tip for the KTU to improve their organization, how about you quit being North Korean stooges for a start?

LOL, but that would require them to stop bashing the US! Now, we all know, if they didn’t have the Yanks to kick around, they would have no reason for living.

They can start with go f*ck themselves!
They are the perfect example of what a teacher’s organization should not be- ignorant, treasonous, racist, slimy scandal whitewashers.
They actively work AGAINST the government and the improvement of education. They should be held accountable for it.
F*CK THEM ALL!

This reminds me of a conversation I once had with a doctor from an eastern European country shortly after the collapse of communism ‘as we knew it’ in Europe. I mentioned how wonderful it must be for the people of his country to be out from under the yoke of Stalinist communism. He replied that they had simply changed the signs over the whore house door: this meant that management had not changed; they were simply going under another name. I suspect the same principle will hold true for the pathetic KTU. The worst part of it for me is the fact that my son may be directly affected by these people.
