In this resolution, the 4th ITUC-AP Regional Council extends its full support to the ongoing sit-in strike of the in-house subcontracted workers in Hyundai Motors, which began on 15 November 2010, demanding that the company hire them directly as ‘regular’ workers. It notes that the Supreme Court on 22 July 2010 ruled that in-house subcontract is in fact labour dispatch, which is banned in the manufacturing sector.
The Regional Council calls on the Korean Government and Hyundai Motor to immediately stop repression of the workers and every forms of violation of human and fundamental labour rights and to take their full responsibility to ensure the collective bargaining between Hyundai Motor, the actual employer of in-house subcontracted workers in the company and the Korean Metal Workers Union (KMWU) representing the workers, for a follow-up measure to the Supreme Court ruling.
