KOREA: Hotel tries to smash union

The Korean Federation of Service Workers' Unions (KFSU) is continuing its battle against the union-busting campaign by Hotel Riviera in Daejeon City, which began in August 2004 when the hotel's owners, the Shinan Leisure Corporation, closed the facility. On August 25 this year, the National Labour Relations Commission found that the company had closed the hotel under false pretenses and illegally sacked workers. The commission ruled that Shinan must reinstate the dismissed union members with full back pay and resume the hotel's normal operations.
