Last month(2.17) Hankyoreh reported the following: After losing their jobs in a mass layoff 13 years ago(*), dismissed workers at Cort Guitars will finally get a meeting with Cort President Park Young-ho. The meeting is expected to take place in early March...

But, unfortunately(surprise, surprise..^^), the meeting never took place!

Therefore they(i.e. the dismissed Cort workers) issued y'day(3.12) at noon(KST) the following statement during a press conference: 

 

 

From Today we'll go on an indefinite HUNGER STRIKE...

 

 

...until the Cort management, resp. Park Young-ho, restore our dignity as (at least former)Cort employees.
