Fight against precarious employment continues in South Korea

The Hyundai motor company has used casual and sub contracting employment practices to drive down wages and conditions of its workforce. Workers have campaigned hard against these practices, with two workers now into their 9th month of a heroic aerial sit-in protest. To support these workers and highlight the campaign against precarious work, the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions has organised a nationwide Hope Bus tour for 20 July. For photos, click here. Hyundai is a global company. Global co-ordinated action by workers at other Hyundai factories will be the most effective way to fight for secure jobs for all.
