Abstract
The main labor movements during the Kim Young Sam Administration appeared as a general strike to block the revision of the labor laws. The general strike against labor law revision has the following significances. Firstly, it was the first nationwide general strike after the Korean War in 1950. Secondly, by opposing the revision, it aimed not economic benefits but political demands. Thirdly, it opposed not only against individual employers but against governmental power also, which could make it characterized as a political struggle. Among the major labor movements in each era, those respective ones shall be understood by separating historical events from simple facts when you need to figure if they aimed the right to liberty or the right to live. The nationwide general strike should be recognized not as a simple fact, but as a historical event (important and meaningful). Under such historical facts, the general strike pursued the right to liberty as a political struggle.
