Feature on U.S. election and hope for change following Barack Obama’s victory; special report on mechanical engineering, one of the most important among manufacturing sectors; and profile of Gab-Deuk Jung, KMWU president, talking about his union fight for industry-wide collective bargaining and the rights of workers to form unions in Korea.
Barack Obama's decisive victory as the next president of the United States inspired hope among working people both in America and abroad. In battleground states, such as Ohio and Pennsylvania, more than 100,000 trade union volunteers took time off work to help convince Americans to vote for change.
Mechanical engineering is of central importance to most other manufacturing sectors and yet, until now, its organizing potential and strategic role has been frequently overlooked by trade unions.
Arrest and imprisonment has not deterred Gab-Deuk Jung, president of the KMWU, from fighting for industry-wide collective bargaining and protecting the rights of workers to form unions.
