Funeral for unionized construction worker

Members of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, South Korea's biggest umbrella union, chant slogans in front of the headquarters of the Korea Police Agency in Seoul on June 21, 2023, while carrying the portrait of Yang Hoe-dong, a late unionized construction worker, in a funeral procession. Yang, a 50-year-old member of the Korean Construction Workers' Union, killed himself by self-immolation in early May while facing a prosecution investigation on suspicions related to alleged illegal labor union practices.
