Unionized civil servants face probe over political donations

  
SEOUL, Jan. 25 (Yonhap) -- Police said Monday they have opened a probe into the alleged political activities of hundreds of members of the Korea Teachers and Education Worker's Union (KTU) and the Korean Government Employees' Union (KGEU).

The union members are suspected of illegally participating in activities of the minor progressive Democratic Labor Party (DLP) in breach of the law compelling civil servants to remain politically neutral, police said.
