I have no love for these Korean labor unions and apparently President Lee has had enough with their antics as well:

Korean law bars public worker and teacher union members from taking part in collective political activity, but the legitimacy of the investigation has been controversial.

After 30 minutes of scuffling with dozens of lawmakers and officials from the Democratic Labor Party who resisted the seizure, officers with warrants secured the remaining nine computer servers of the party at the KT Internet center in Bundang, south of Seoul, police said. The first of the 10 servers was seized in a search conducted last Thursday.

Four party officials were taken to a nearby police station following the clash.

Police investigators said they are now checking the servers for evidence that union members paid membership fees to the DLP between 2006 and 2009.

The investigation began late last month when police said some members of the Korean Teachers and Education Workers’ Union and the Korean Government Employees’ Union had participated in an official DLP online poll of party members. The votes were cast to pick regional chapters, lawmakers and leading party officials for the progressive party.

If members of the unions were involved, they could face criminal charges and dismissal.  [Joong Ang Ilbo]

ROK Drop readers may remember the DLP is same political party that was linked to a North Korean spy scandal.
