Korean workers celebrate a victory for safety

The health and safety of workers in South Korea took a step forward last week with the recognition that Malignant Lymphoma is a disease caused by occupational exposure. This small win was the result of hard struggle by labour activists who have been campaigning for years against the practices of companies like Samsung. The difficulty of this struggle can be seen by the fact that a protest camp set up by labour activists outside Samsung headquarters has been underway for over 8 months.
