Yesterday(5.19) afternoon in downtown Seoul: About 5000 workers(mainly organized in the KCTU), activists of people's resistance organisations and members of solidarity groups gathered in front of Central Railway Station to commemorate the 22 fatal victims of the mass layoff at SsangYong Motors.

In the following protest demonstration, a short while after the beginning blocked by thousands of riot cops, all attendees vowed to fight untill all dismissed SsangYong workers are re-employed.

While yesterday's protest was only the preliminary climax of a campaign which started already five month ago (see also: "Solidarity tents for dismissed SsangYong workers'), the organizers announced a "Nationwide Action Day" to be held in the next month (6.16), to enforce the campaign's demands.

Here just some impressions from yesterday's rally and demo:
