Korea has strong worker protections and unions. Not on tracking, but in general.




Low union membership though.

No? Unless you don't count intra-company worker committees. Those fulfill much of the same role and are mandatory above a (relatively low) company size.

Which may be related to unions having been actively persecuted (to the extend of actual state-sanctioned torture, disappearences, and bona-fide massacres against people involved with unions - and people living next door. With active support of US civilian and military leadership, that is).

Google Gwangju.
