Friday 24 June 2016 marked 100 days since 41-year-old Han Kwang-ho, committed suicide. Han was a union organiser at YooSung Entreprise, a Hyundai auto part supplier in South Korea. Han had endured five years of intimidation, repression and attacks by the company in retaliation for his trade union activities. On Friday, labour activists commemorated his death and renewed calls for Hyundai to stop its union busting activities. Against global companies like Hyunday, coordinated industrial action across countries is needed.
