We call on the S.Korea President Lee Myung-Bak to immediately urge the CEO of Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction (HHIC) to appear in the Hearing of Parliament. And immediately review Labor Law to stop illegal firing and the mass layoff, and to protect workers in irregular employment.

我們要求南韓政府李明博總統,立即促使韓進重工業公司總裁到國會公聽會對解僱事件作解釋,並立即修訂勞動法規,制止不合法解僱、大規模解僱,以及立法保障非正規就業的勞工。
