Today In Labor History April 3, 1948: Cheju Massacre in Korea. Between 1948 and 1949, one of the 20th century’s least known genocides occurred. On the island of Cheju-do, 30,000 civilians were massacred (10% of the island’s population) by the South Korean army, Cheju-do police and the U.S. military. However, the governor of Cheju told American intelligence that the real number was closer to 60,000. Another 30,000 people fled to Japan. The massacre was designed to suppress a worker uprising and General Strike.

“…experts described a culture where economic struggles, financial envy and social issues such as toxic competitiveness are fuelling hate speech.”

They lost their families in the #Jeju plane crash - then came the online hate - over 450 vicious posts accusing victims of faking it for money or worse - have lead to eight arrests #korea
