[%%IMAGE1%%]<p>  Kim Myeong-hwan, chairman of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), was arrested on June 21 under charges of illegal activity during a KCTU rally in opposition to the expansion of unit periods in the flexible working hour system, which would permit periods of overtime exceeding the 52-hour work week in exchange for reduced hours at other periods. The KCTU called an emergency committee meeting the next day, during which they opted to hold a series of strikes by unions around the country for the next month.
