E-Land Workers Hold Protest (Korea Times, 12.23)
About 150 unionized workers of E-Land held a rally in front of SaRang Community
Church in southern Seoul Saturday, asking the pastors to let the company's
chairman resume negotiations and withdraw dismissal of leaders of the union.
SaRang Church is where the group's Chairman Park Sung-soo is an elder.
The unionists have been on strike since July 8 to protest the company's dismissal
of non-permanent employees.
Recently, the group sacked an additional 33 leaders of the union and ordered the
suspension of another nine workers. The dismissal was delivered via text
messages on mobile phones last Tuesday through Thursday, a day before the
scheduled negotiations between the management and the union.
The workers rushed to the church and asked the senior reverend to recommend
Park resume the talks and withdraw the dismissal, but were rejected. Their
request to rally inside the religious facility was also turned down.
The union plans to continue the protest till their requests are accepted...

Well, sorry for my thoughts, but I doubt if it makes much sense to appeal - whether it's Christmas time, or not - to one of the most reactionary parts of the S.K. churches..
SaRang(^^ what an euphemism!!) Community Church already tolerated - or supported(??!!) - from the beginning Park Sung-soo's activities (better said: permanent attacks) against the unionized employees of his "shopping empire"!!
