Solidarity with the Protest of Hyundai Workers in Ulsan!

Since 278 days(!!) two labor activists - one official of the temporary workers' union of Hyundai Motors and the other a former 'irregular' worker at the automaker - are now in sit-in strike on a power supply post...

The protest began last year on Oct. 17 when Choe Byeong-seung and Cheon Ui-bong ascended a 50-meter electrical pylon near the Myeongchon Gate of Hyundai Motor’s factory in Ulsan (here you can read a detailed article).

Yesterday(7.20) in the morning about 3000 activists in 22 S. Korean cities boarded dozens of "Hope Buses" and drove to Ulsan. After arrival they gathered with 2000 workers from the Ulsan region in front of Hyundai Motors plant for a massive protest rally... But only a short while after the beginning they were attacked by large units of riot cops and heavily armed "security guards"(i.e. thugs, hired by Hyundai to smash the rally!!):

Here - on LabourStart - you'll get more Korean reports about "Hope Bus" weekend(protest rally, "street battle", culture festival etc.) in Ulsan!
