OCCUPY HYUNDAI!!

Under that motto approx. 2000 workers and (progressive) activists gathered last Saturday(7.21), after a powerful demonstration, in front of Hyundai Motors' in Ulsan (a south-eastern industrial city in S. Korea) for almost 24 hours to demonstrate their unconditional participation/support in this years strike campaign by the Korean Metal Workers' Union(KMWU) to achieve the following goals:

-> abolishing the temporary workers system
-> rooting out unfair transactions between companies and subcontractors
-> scrapping the nighttime work system
-> improving labor conditions

Here just some impressions from the nighttime protest 'event'/culture festival:
