Popular System of Labor in DPRK

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, April 18 (KCNA) -- Today all the people are living an independent and creative life without worries about job in the DPRK.
    This is unthinkable apart from the noble loving care of President Kim Il Sung who devoted his all to bringing highest dignity and happiness to the Korean people who had once undergone all manner of humiliation and exploitation, deprived of their motherland.
    With the idea of "believing in the people as in the heaven" as his motto, the President put his heart and soul into establishing a true labor system at an early date after the national liberation.
    On June 24, Juche 35 (1946) he proclaimed the Labor Law for the Workers and Office Employees in North Korea containing provisions full of human-love such as banning juvenile labor and installing safety facilities at dangerous working spots.
    Immeasurable are the painstaking efforts he made to provide the working people with good working and living conditions, saying ours is a land for the working class.
    Visiting the Hwanghae Iron and Steel Complex, the Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex, the Songjin Steel Complex, the Komdok Mining Complex and other industrial establishments throughout the country, he showed benevolent affection, paying deeper attention to the health of the workers than production and took care that splendid cultural and welfare facilities including mess halls, dormitories and bathrooms as well as supply base were operated.
    On April 18, 1978 he proclaimed the Socialist Labor Law, the most excellent one in the world, to establish a revolutionary morale of working life in the whole society.
    The socialist benefits for the working people are growing day after day thanks to leader Kim Jong Il who is successfully carrying forward the noble intention of the President who dedicated everything to the happiness of the people with deepest affection for them.
    The leader, in spite of the urgency of his affairs in his guidance to the Songun revolution, found time to build many modernized model factories for providing workers with satisfactory working conditions and to build holiday homes and sanatoriums for the working people in different parts of the country, thus weaving endless legendary stories of love for the people.
    No wonder the Korean people, cherishing in their hearts the benevolent favors of the peerlessly great men, are living a worthy life, firmly defending the man-centered socialism with their creative labor by establishing a revolutionary morale of working life.
