As the Hankyoreh reported last week:
The labor union of E-Land marked the 300th day of its strike on April 17. With no breakthrough in sight, Kim Gyeong-wook, the head of the E-Land union, expressed a sense of frustration, saying, “The E-Land dispute will only end if the union dies or the company dies.”
Since the strike began in June, the union and management have met several times, but the two sides have failed to narrow the gaps in key issues such as job security for part-time workers, rehiring of fired union workers and punishment of striking workers. Intermittent negotiations between the union and management were stalled again since early April. (link)
Cina has posted a video chronicling the strike in recent months as well as some more useful links and photos.
Question rather than a comment.
ReplyDeleteWith Tesco's recent acquisition of some of E-Land's stores in the Seoul area, have Tesco also inherited its "share" of the E-Land strike?
