LG HelloVision subcontracted workers stage 6-hour high-altitude protest on Hangang Bridge

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] Workers belonging to a subcontractor of LG HelloVision staged a high-altitude protest on the arch of Hangang Bridge, demanding direct employment and improved treatment, and came down after about six hours.

According to the police on the 12th, around 12:30 PM that day, two employees belonging to a subcontractor of LG HelloVision staged a protest on the arch structure of Hangang Bridge in the direction of Noryangjin, and ended the protest and came down to the ground around 6:50 PM, about six hours later.

About 150 union members belonging to the LG HelloVision irregular workers' branch, who were conducting a coordinated protest near the site, voluntarily dispersed around 7:10 PM on the same day.

There were no physical clashes between union members and the police, and no union members were separately detained.

The union stated, "In March of this year, the primary contractor LG HelloVision agreed on employment guarantees and improved treatment for union members, but the primary contractor unilaterally broke the agreement," and demanded, "LG HelloVision must immediately implement the agreement to guarantee employment and improve working conditions for irregular workers."

The police are considering applying charges of violating the Assembly and Demonstration Act against the two workers who staged the high-altitude protest.
