In June 2007, Korean textile and supermarket retailer E.Land fired more than 1,000 so-called non-regular workers.
Through the mass dismissals, E.Land wants to deny these supermarket and department store cashiers and others regular employment. Had they remained employed on 1 July, the company would have been forced to sign permanent contracts with them, based on a new labour law.
