“Bread bread.” At 3 pm on the 19th, when hundreds of vehicles were traveling to and from Yeongdo, Busan with cheering horns, a large spreading curtain was put down on the building in front of the main gate of Hanjin Heavy Industries’ Yeongdo Shipyard.

“No retirement age without reinstatement”

The camera shutter burst as soon as colleagues of the leader Kim Jin-sook of the Busan Headquarters, who had been dismissed for 35 years, caught the unfolding curtain. The words on the spreading screen were the most symbolic slogan that compressed the’Remember Hope Bus (Kim Jin-suk Hope Bus)’ event on this day. Hope Bus participants and colleagues hoping for’Kim Jin-sook’s reinstatement’ tightened the strings more tightly in case the spreading curtain would be blown by the strong wind of Youngdo.

On this day, an estimated 400 vehicles of hope from the organizers from all over the country flocked to Yeongdo, Busan. He joined the shipyard as the first female welder, but has been fired for 35 years because of labor union activities. 180 days of reinstatement struggle. When leader Kim, who had devoted his whole life to the labor issues of others, started a fight for himself ahead of his retirement age, the Hope Bus, supporting this, started again after nine years.

From 1:30 pm, there was a long gap of hope with the words’Reinstate Kim Jin-sook of Hanjin Heavy Industries in a world without dismissal’ on two entrances to the National Maritime Museum and Taejong University. All the vehicles on board were different, such as vans, taxis, buses, passenger cars, and large ready-mixed concrete, not the same large buses as in the past. However, their stopover was the same in front of the Hope Gas Station, the main gate of Yeongdo Shipyard. The organizer said, “Over 100 places nationwide, 410 cars of hope have arrived in Busan.”

When Hope Car left for Yeongdo Shipyard, live broadcasting started on YouTube soon. With the spread of Corona 19, all events on this day were held online and in a drive-through (vehicle boarding) method. As the live broadcast progressed, the cars of hope that gathered were divided into 49 cars and marched through Yeongdo Shipyard and Yeongdo several times.

On the stage of the’Kim Jin-sook Hope Bus’ in front of the main gate, hosted by two moderators, including Jeong Hong-hyung, senior vice-president of the support branch of the metallurgical union, the participants stepped up and grabbed the microphone. Father Moon Jeong-hyun, who is also the first hope bus participant in 2011, said, “I can’t imagine the pain and grieving sadness that was expelled from the factory.” “Reinstatement is an acknowledgment of the resentment of the dismissed. “You have to return to work, and you will get better (cancer recurrence, etc.).”

Kim Ho-gyu, chairman of the metallurgical union, emphasized “termination”. Chairman Kim Ho-gyu said, “The Moon Jae-in administration and Hanjin Capital must solve this issue,” he said. “The company should correct the 35-year layoff, not for the sale and forfeiture. President Moon, who intends to create a labor-oriented society, should also solve this problem.” Demanded.

When leader Kim entered the fight against cancer such as surgery, colleagues who instead entered into an indefinite fasting campaign greeted a difference of hope with video greetings. “I remember the last hope bus. I am grateful to those who joined me this time,” said Moon Cheol-sang, the head of the metals union stimulus branch and Shim Jin-ho, the chairman of Hanjin Heavy Industries, who are fasting on the 25th.

They appealed, “If the willingness is gathered, the problem of reinstatement will surely be solved. Let’s solve the painful years of 35 years, and let leader Kim return to the factory, eat lunch at a clean restaurant, and walk on Hanjin Heavy Industries on their own.” .

Ja Kyu-hyung was not able to get up from Dock 4, and Kang-seo, who struggled for dismissal, could not return to work. I want to go back with them (to the factory).
