Starting in the early morning of Nov. 20, three dismissed Ssangyong Motor workers in Pyeongtaek(Gyeonggi province) ascended an electricity pylon to stage a sit-in protest. KCTU activists Han Sang-kyun, Moon Ki-joo and Bok Ki-seong are demanding the re-employment of the dismissed workers(as promised by the SsangYong management) and that a parliamentary inspection of the lay-offs be held.
