Seoul Central District Court said plans to stop union activities had been masterminded by executives in the firm's now-defunct elite strategy group.

The USA should jail executives for union busting too.

1. I wish the US would prosecute corporate executives for their many crimes.

Union busting, wage theft, price fixing, collusion, environmental terrorism, manslaughter due to health care pricing and practices, tax fraud and evasion and a long list of other crimes need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible with felony criminal charges as much as possible.

2. Here we "elect" them president and send the cops in to bash heads on the picket line. n/t

[not fooled]

3. Yeah, and then

the workers who formerly would have been in the union and benefiting from being represented vote for the installed president because faux snooze told them to. And then wonder why their lives suck.
