After bringing you a number of bad news stories in relation to Samsung Electronics in Korea (see here, here and here), we are finally able to bring you one small victory. On October 18, the Seoul administrative court ordered that KCOMWEL, the quasi-government entity responsible for workers compensation, pay industrial-accident payouts to the bereaved family of a former Samsung Electronics employee who died in 2009 of leukemia. The ruling is a posthumous victory for Kim Kyung-mi, who had waged a long fight until her death four years ago. We remember all the workers who have died at work, and we fight for those living. We commend the tireless work of SHARPS for their unwavering commitment to exposing Samsung Electronics' murderous negligence.
