Perhaps you could explain who the KFTA is and how to get a hold of them when needed?
Again, thanks for sharing the information in this thread. |
Good question, CH. The KFTA is the Korean Federation of Teachers' Association (한국교원단체총연합회-->교총 in Korean short form). However, don't confuse it with the left-wing, radical KTU (VERY different orgs). You can join the KFTA by submitting an application (on their website), 재직증명서 (employment certificate) and photocopy of your bank book (for dues deduction--10,000 won/month) either by fax or hand delivery to your local chapter. Their website is www.kfta.or.kr (your local branch's info can be found on their website: http://www.kfta.or.kr/guide/si_do.asp). Once you have been a member for six months, you can have access to their lawyers--yes, it takes some time, but can be well worth it. |
