After a strike that had lasted over five years, 10 sacked women workers, all members of the Korean Metal Workers Union, finally won their fight to become permanent workers.
The workers were originally sacked by Kiryung Electronics as the company claimed they were not direct employees but sub contractors.
The agreement is particularly significant as it is the first time in Korea that an employer has agreed to directly hire dismissed irregular workers into permanent positions.
