The top court ruled Thursday in favor of illegal aliens seeking to join labor unions.

Upholding a lower court ruling, the Supreme Court said a group of such workers from Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi Province have the right to join trade unions.

The group of illegal aliens filed a lawsuit against the Seoul Regional Labor Administration a decade ago, seeking legal status as members of labor unions. (Yonhap)
