DESCRIPTION:The Ssangyong Motor Company strike and plant occupation in Pyeongtaek, 
 South Korea, ended after 77 days on Aug. 5. For the 976 workers who seized 
 the small auto plant on May 22 and held it against repeated quasi-military 
 assault, the settlement signed by Ssangyong court receivership manager Park 
 Young-tae and local union president Han Sang-kyun represented a near-total 
 defeat. Yet the workers fought valiantly and uncompromisingly for over 2 
 months, demonstrating a militancy and class consciousness sorely lacking in 
 the world today. Like the 6-day occupation of the Republic Windows and 
 Doors factory in Chicago last December, the Ssangyong struggle is an 
 inspiration to workers everywhere, especially as the current crisis has 
 been used as a pretext to attack working class conditions. It's about time 
 we turned the class war back on its feet and started fighting back. The 
 Ssangyong strikers offer us many lessons for doing so.\n\nFilm showing of 
 the occupation will be followed by a discussion.\n\nSunday, October 25, 
 10:30-12:30\n6501 Telegraph Ave. (at Alcatraz)\nOakland, Ca.\n\nFree and 
 open\n\nSponsored by The Institute for Critical Study of 
 Society\nwww.tifcss.org\n
