Arrest of activist
Police should respect spirit of hard-won accord
Most Koreans felt relieved to see the settlement of the 11- month-long labor dispute at Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction last week. The long-awaited happy ending, at least for the 99 percent of economically less privileged, may be in for an ugly last-minute twist. Few can blame the police for investigating Kim Jin-suk, who played a key role in extracting the company’s decision to rehire 94 dismissed workers, if she had violated laws in the process. Yet it seems neither necessary legally nor humane to seek to arrest a 50-something woman who has just finished a 309-day sit-in on a 35-meter-high tower crane, during which she couldn’t move around much or even take a bath.
Doctors who checked her reportedly found few noticeable health problems, but she complains of several symptoms. Kim said she would turn herself in to the police in her own time, so there are little chances of her running away. And all news-watching Koreans know about her high-altitude protest, which means the police won’t need to worry about her destruction of evidence. We can see few good reasons for her arrest except probably for the law enforcement authorities’ intention not to allow for the birth of another labor heroine. The police plan to file charges of trespassing and obstruction of business against her.
But the crane in question would have lain idle whether she occupied it or not for her protest, as Hanjin Heavy has long failed to win orders for the Busan shipyard. It is also a double standard for the police to seek her arrest, while they didn’t take issue with a man who also staged a protest on a crane for 87 days. Moreover, the police’s move runs squarely counter to the agreement between the labor and management to drop all charges against each other in the year-long conflict.
Most of all, all the parties involved should not mar the lessons of the Hanjin Heavy dispute, which reminded them of the harm to not only workers but also the businesses brought about by the unilateral firing of workers for reason of managerial problems, as well as how the solidarity of the civil society can save the lives of ordinary people and their families. Without Kim, few can deny there might have been dozens of workers committing suicide as is the case at Ssangyong Motor. The police and prosecution might stress the need for law enforcement without exception. But we can’t help but retort where their sense of justice has gone unless the punishment of numerous law-breakers with political connections takes place. Good sense and humanity should be the basic spirit supporting the law.
