  The Association For the Study of Songun Politics UK(ASSPUK) and the Juche Idea Study Group of England(JISGE),a statement on the occasion of the publication of the work "The Duty of the Working Class of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il for the Times and the Tasks Facing Trade Union Organizations" by the dear respected leader Marshal KIM JONG UN.
  This work takes the form of a letter sent to the 7th Congress of the General Federation of Trades Unions of Korea (GFTUK)on the 27th of October 2016. The fact that supreme leader Marshal KIM JONG UN sent the letter to the 7th Congress of the GFTUK shows how much the working class of the DPRK are valued and respected . Indeed as dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN writes that
"     Our Party conferred the honourable title, "the heroic working class of Kim Il Sung and

Kim Jong Il," on our working class that supported the great leaders' ideas and leadership with loyalty. This title bears the unshakeable will and determination of our Party to carry forward in their entirety the idea of prioritizing the working class and leadership of the great leaders, who, by placing them in the vanguard, effected gigantic social and historical changes and tided over the trying hardships; it also reflects the Party's great trust and expectation that they will fulfil their basic duty as the working class of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il in implementing the revolutionary cause of Juche."

 Thus shows that rather than abandoning the working class or downgrading the role of the working class as some reactionaries and opportunists have alleged , the WPK under the leadership of dear respected Marshal KIM JONG UN is actually putting forward the working class as the vanguard and prioritizing them. Indeed the working class are the engine propelling the onward march to a thriving

socialist country. Of course it is very important to uphold the revolutionary soldier spirit.

  Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN puts forward tasks for the GFTUK and the working class to fulfil in order to carry out the programme of the historic 7th Congres of the Workers' Party of Korea and fight to complete the Juche revolutionary cause.

   Upholding the fine traditions of Korean workers who always supported the Workers' Party of Korea and the great leaders President KIM IL SUNG and Chairman KIM JONG IL the working class  should resolutely smash counter-revolutionary elements , as Marshal KIM JONG UN says "They should defend the ideology and authority of the Party in the spirit they displayed in postwar days, when they safeguarded the Party shouting they would throw the factional elements into the electric furnace; they should not in the least overlook or compromise with anti-Party and unsound practices of all hues revealed in implementing the Party's policies, but resolutely smash them with their iron fists"

 Moreover the working class should fight the instrusion of bourgeois and impeiralist ideology into DPRK society "They should intensify ideological education and ideological struggle, which are aimed at smashing the reactionary ideological and cultural infiltration by the imperialists and their following forces, so as to keep their members from being contaminated by the capitalist poison and lead all of them to hold fast to the working-class stand and live and work in a sound and revolutionary manner." says respected Marshal KIM JONG UN. This shows the wisdom and perceptive thinking of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN who is aware of the schemes of the imperialists and class enemies to destroy socialism by infiltrating the rotten ideology and culture of imperialism into society .

  Respected Marshal KIM JONG UN calls for the GFTUK to show greater solidarity with the south Korean workers in their struggle against the US imperialists , for the right to exist and for reunification . Furthermore he urges that the GFTUK should " encourage the progressive peoples of the world in their struggle for independence, peace and socialism" This encapsulates the lofty idea of proletarian internationalism .

  To conclude this work further develops the Juche-orientated theory on the trade union movment and carrries it to a a new higher level.It is is fighting programme for the Juche-based revolutionary trade union movement . We strongly recommend a deep study of this work.
