The industrial dispute at Seung Yeun Technology (SYTIC) escalated on Friday when locked out workers barged into the factory and occupied their workplace. SYTIC is located in the Cavite Export Processing Zone in the Philippines, the county’s largest EPZ. The workers are fighting against the contractualisation and union busting tactics by the company. Meanwhile, the factory owners have been letting scabs onto the job while unionised workers are locked out. The SYTIC workers are demanding the reopening of the factory, a return to work as regular employees and recognition of the newly-formed union.
