Ssangyong unionist sentenced to four years jail
Mr Han led a 77 day strike at the Ssangyong vehicle manufacturing plant in protest against mass sackings. The company and South Korean government responded with violent police attacks against the strikers and solidarity supporters including the use of chemical agents. They blockaded the workers and denied them food, water and medical aid. The strike ended in August 2009.
Labour movement activists organise against exploitation every day. Sometimes workers are discouraged from demanding their rights thorough the repression of activists.
Many activists are in jail beacause of their organising activities. These some campaigns to free our comrades. please support them.
More information about the strike can be found here and here. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
