...and the following rally...
...in front of CheongWaDae(the S. Korean presidential office) more than 2,000 workers and citizens criticized the gov't for its inactivity regarding the bitter fate of the remaining 30 workers(most of them KCTU activists and involved of the 77 days long-running SsangYong strike in 2009), who were fired after the violent suppression of the strike.
