Body:
Subcontracted South Korean electronics workers need your support in their struggle to regain their jobs and win decent work conditions from their employer, Kiryung Electronics. After a 67-day hunger strike that ended in mid-August, workers continue to insist the company rehire those it fired three years ago for organizing a union.

The workers make satellite radios that Kiryung sells to Sirius Satellite Radio in the U.S.

Kiryung employs full-time workers alongside temporary “dispatch” workers. The temps, who receive much lower wages, are paid by dispatch agencies rather than Kiryung. They make a penny above minimum wage and work 60-70 hours a week.
