We’ve recently reported on the struggle of workers at Hyundai Motor division for the right of permanent employment and a stop to sub-contracting measures. The same issue has been tragically highlighted in another one of Hyundai’s divisions. In Dangjin, South Chungcheong province, five workers were killed because of oxygen deprivation while cleaning a big furnace at the Hyundai Steel plant. These workers were employed by a sub-contractor and Hyundai management is trying to absolve itself of responsibility for the poor safety conditions at this site. This was not the first fatality at this site.
