Solidarity with the Ssangyong Motors workers!
From “Solidaires”
The French labor union center “Solidaires” expresses its full solidarity to the Ssangyong Motors workers.
We protests energetically against the violence of police repression.
We denounce this very grave human rights violation.
We call on the Korean government to :
– call off this extraordinarily dangerous raid,
– participate in negotiations over alternatives to dismissal and a future for the plant,
– stop denying the sit-in strikers food, water, proper medical attention, electricity.

Total support to the Ssangyong Motors workers!
From the NPA (France)
The Nouveau Parti Anticapitaliste (NPA, France) [New Anticapitalist Party] wishes to extend its full solidarity with the long and militant struggle engaged in South Korea by the Ssangyong Motors workers and the KMWU.
In France as well, workers (especially in the car industry) are faced to the effects of the world financial, economic and social crisis – and the will of the bosses to use this global crisis as a pretext to launch a new wave of anti-workers mesures.
In several automobile industry plants in France (Continental, Goodyear, New Fabris, etc.), in Renault or Peugeot-Citroën controled factories, workers have occupied sites against redundencies and closures in a very militant way. Repression of labor and social struggles can be harsh in France today, but, presently, it has not been (sor far) as violent as the one faced by the Ssangyong Mortors workers and trade unionists.
The NPA (France) ask for an immediate stop to police raids and the recognition of the legitimacy of Ssangyong Motors’ workers’ demands.
International labor solidarity!
