> The labor unions of the nation's two airliners, Korean Air and Asiana
> Airlines, declared Thursday that they refuse to transport anything
> related to the troop dispatch to Iraq, including Korean soldiers to be
> stationed in Iraq along with armor and related equipment.
> The Association of Airline Unions, founded by both the national
> airlines and the employees of Incheon International Airport and Kimpo
> Airport, said Thursday that in accordance with the policy of the Korean
> Confederation of Trade Unions, that they are against sending more
> troops to Iraq and will launch an all-out struggle against the
> deployment.
> The association said, "Both Korean Air and Asiana Airlines should
> not sign contracts with the government to transport troops to Iraq... If
> they sign such contracts, the security of our union members cannot be
> guaranteed as they may become a target of terror during operation...
> Also, in order to show our rejection to a war of invasion, we will
> suspend all flights."
> In response to the unions, the two airlines pointed out, "We haven't
> been asked by the government to transport troops to Iraq, and
> unconditionally rejecting something before even negotiations have
> begun is going to far".
