We've just received an urgent alert from the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions informing us that today at 3:40 in the morning, riot police broke into the office of the Daewoo Motors Workers Union in Pupyung, near Seoul. They arrested everyone there and continue to hold in custody all the top union leaders.
They are accused of the "crime" of leading a militant struggle to save the jobs of Korean auto workers.
