This week, on Monday 1 May, 6 workers were killed and more than 20 others injured when a crane that they were working on collapsed (see video). This industrial murder happened at the Samsung Heavy Industries shipyard on Geoje Island. Samsung is the world's third-largest shipbuilder and is a vicious anti-union company. All the dead workers were not direct employees of Samsung, but rather hired as subcontractors from different companies. The repression of independent unions and the increasing insecurity of employment, leads to unsafe workplaces for workers.
