Court overturns dismissals for Korean workers

Hundreds of dismissed workers from an electronics factory owned by operators in Taiwan, received fantastic news this week when a Korean court ruled in their favour. The decision not only declared that their dismissals were invalid, but also ordered the company to pay back wages. The workers have kept up an unrelenting struggle against the company for the last two years, including travelling to Taiwan, hunger striking and setting up protest camps. It is to be seen whether the company will abide by the Court’s decision.
