7.31 뉴코아 강남점..

Today in the early morning once again - and not surprising - the S.K. gov't answered the demands of E.Land/New Core/Homever workers with STATE TERROR!



During the extreme violent attack against the sit-in strike in Seoul's Gangnam New Core branch thousands of riot cops arrested at least 190 labour union activists:


Police Crack Down on E-Land Workers (K. Times, 7.31)
 

Thousands of police raided a discount store in southern Seoul Tuesday to disperse workers who have been holding a sit-in strike for the past three days calling for the reinstatement of dismissed non-regular workers and a pay raise.


About 5,000 police officers removed some 200 striking unionized workers from E-Land at around 5 a.m., Monday (likely the reporter means Tuesday^^). Although there were some scuffles initially, the police took the workers to police stations within one hour...


The workers chanted slogans such as ``End discrimination against non-regular workers'' and ``We denounce forced dispersion.''


The police also hauled away five officials from the progressive Democratic Labor Party who had joined the sit-in protest along with the striking workers (please watch a video about the "event" here).


Unionists and labor groups made it clear that they would continue their struggle until their demands are met...

..E.Land wants to destroy union with government support

 
E.Land is now out to destroy its workers' trade union in what is emerging as one of the dirtiest union-busting campaigns ever seen. In doing this, they are supported by a wavering but friendly and cooperative government, which readily accommodates the company's requests for riot police intervention and repression. The playing field is heavily slanted in the retailer's favour, and many government representatives don't even hide their views that the workers should just accept the mass lay-offs and all other management decisions.
 

An important part of employer strategy has been to lock up the main leaders of its trade union, to weaken the E.Land workers' capacity to negotiate. When their trade union confederation KCTU came in to support the struggle, it was heavily attached by the government and its labour minister as a 'third party' intervention. Apparently, the company and its friends in government had not counted on a broad labour support for the strike. Instead they must have thought that it would be easy to get out of the difficult situation by putting enough pressure on the workers and their workplace and company level union structures.
