THE FINAL(??) BATTLE #3

Following the latest on-site developments:

1. The occupation of the paintshop is still going on!
2. The riot cops are still trying to figure out how to seize it..

At the same time (some parts of the) KCTU executed today a "general strike" (KCTU's press release for the strike you can read here): In the afternoon thousands of automobile and steel industry workers gathered in downtown Pyeongtaek and later clashed with large units of the riot cops while they wanted to march in the direction of the SsangYong plant.

Simultaneously medical workers wanted to deliver meds and water to the striking workers..

..but they just were arrested by the cops!

Finally let's have a closer look at the activities of the opposite side, i.e. the riot cops etc.:

Right now 5,000 riot cops and SWAT/anti-terror units are on the ground, ready to terminate the strike/occupation!

Korea Times reported today following:
Police confronted union workers inside the factory of Ssangyong Motor in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, for a third day, Wednesday.
They brought steel containers into the factory in an apparent move to secure bases from whch they can carry out raids on the striking workers who are firing steel nuts and metal from slingshots.
Taking over two buildings seized by the protesters Tuesday night, riot police encircled a storage building nearby. It has been used as one of the union's strongholds.
Police have taken control of all buildings other than the paint shop inside which striking workers have access to 33,000 liters of inflammatory material.
"After gaining control of other buildings, we will take action to disperse protesters in the paint shop," a senior police officer on the scene said.

But while the S.K. bourgeois media is lamenting that the striking workers are using slingshots the mobsters, once again hired by the SYM management and collaborating with the cops are using (surprise, surprise) SLINGSHOTS:

Here the mobsters(with the white helmets), together with riot cops are knocking down a captured striker(X = a steel rod):

And since y'day police helicopters are attacking the occupied paintshop with liquid tear gas:

And last but not least.. the food embargo becomes more and more "effective"(y'day's dinner for the striking workers):

But - finally - the struggle goes on!!
