This article details the history of trade unions in Korea from their incipient appearances in the 19th century, their underground development in opposition to Japanese colonisation in the early part of the 20th century, their activities post-Korean war, their current status and the development of anti-unionism over time.

This research follows on from our earlier preliminary piece ('Waxing and waning of waves of anti-unionism in South Korea') on Cass Knowledge
