Corea, República de - Refusal to negotiate change in status

In February 2016 the Sucheon plant of the Hyundai Steel Co. rejected a request by contract workers to negotiate changing their status to permanent employees, despite a ruling by the Suncheon branch of the Gwangju Regional Court that Hyundai Steel Co. should recognise all those who had worked for it for over two years as regular employees. Their court case had begun back in 2011.
