[%%IMAGE1%%]<p>  The Joint Campaign for a Victorious Struggle against Starflex (FineTek) held a press conference in front of the Blue House fountain on Dec. 6 to demand that the government step in to resolve the issue of two former FineTek workers who have been holding a sit-in demonstration on top of a smokestack in the company headquarters since November of 2017. The workers began their sit-in to call for the company to keep its promise regarding a collective agreement and keeping workers on the payroll. The photo shows the demonstrators performing a series of ritualistic Buddhist bows to demonstrate their earnestness. (Kim Jung-hyo, staff photographer)</p>[%%IMAGE2%%][%%IMAGE3%%]
