'쌍차투쟁!이젠전쟁이다!'

THE FINAL(??) BATTLE #1

Well, it was just a matter of time:
Today in the morning (10:00 KST) - actually unsurprisingly - thousands of riot cops moved into the SsangYong Motor plant in Pyeongtaek under a court order to disperse laid-off and resisting unionized workers who have occupied the factory for exactly two months.

But until now (late evening, KST) the riot cops - once again(!!) - failed to end the strike/occupation(below you can see some impressions about today's "activities" by the cops and the resisting workers)..

More then 800 workers are still in the plant and they’ll resist "in the face of death" if the cops are trying to forcibly disperse them, SsangYong Metal Workers Union spokesman Lee Chang-geun said by phone.
