Y'day(5.18) afternoon in Gwangju: Thousands of S. Korean workers commemorated the 39th anniversary of the 5.18 Democratic Uprising. Here're just some impressions, provided by KCTU(a detailed report in Korean you'll get here)...
KMWU Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) Branch members go on a 2-hour walkout today. Already, through strikes and rallies, the KMWU Daewoo Shipbuilding Local members have been protesting the backroom-deal merger of Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) with Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME). Although some 100,000 workers have already been pushed out of their jobs in the harsh restructuring of the Korean shipbuilding industry since 2014, this deal portends more livelihoods thrown into risk throughout the supply chains as well. The merger of the world's biggest shipbuilder with the world's second largest shipbuilder by sales would create a global dominant player with monopoly power, and undermine the already tenuous balance of the ecosystem of shipbuilding and shipbuilding parts companies. Social and economic impacts of this merger which has global implications should be taken into consideration.
President Trump wants to restore a past in which America dominated world manufacturing, and his negotiating strategy recalls the Parker Brothers game Monopoly, in which players attempt to extract rents. China is playing the ancient strategy game of Go, with the goal of technological supremacy. (source: David P. Goldman via Asia Times, 5.13)
