According to EEALU the company is to be faulted for the following breaches of the November 13 agreement:

Clause no. 5 of the agreement states that “It is mutually understood that with the reinstatement in place, the company shall preserve the previous employment conditions for the reinstated workers. Though change of position is warranted for, the previous employment conditions shall remain”.

Of the 35 reinstated workers, however, 33 have had to accept changes in the employment conditions including a change of their working days and holidays. As a result of the change in the employment conditions, the workers lose the following benefits:

-          night shift allowance

-          income out of over-time

-          income out of working during holidays

-          over-time food allowance 

-          gas allowance for work during holidays.

In sum, after their reinstatement, the workers see their income reduced by half, calculates the EEALU.

Clauses no. 6 and 8 of the agreement state respectively that “All 44 workers, after being reinstated, pledge to abide by regulations of the company, and the company shall make efforts to enhance good relations with the workers”, and “The company, workers and the Union agree to cooperate to make possible good labour relations and any interference that may give rise to conflicts shall be avoided.”

Since their reinstatement, however, workers are separated from other workers and are assigned work that is not directly related to the production lines:

-          Some workers are assigned to sit idly and given no specific jobs. They are asked to sit in a job interview room equipped with CCTV and recording microphones.

-          Some workers are assigned with jobs that do not respond to their professional capacities such as catching stray cats on the factory premises, dredging canteen sewages, collecting and laundering gloves, cleaning store rooms, etc.

Moreover, pressure has been applied by the company on the workers in various manners:

-          Workers are ordered to sit in places where they find themselves surrounded by supervisors and administrative officers who harbouring negative attitude toward them. 

-          Workers, in particular the core labour union members are summoned to meet with the Hoya personnel manager who has repeatedly offered money would the workers agree to resign.

-          Some workers are required to report to the division supervisors every morning before work. Such a requirement is not applicable to other workers in the same divisions. 

-          Some workers are assigned unfamiliar jobs - as a result they have to begin to learn the skills anew. 

-          The management has ordered other workers to keep a vigil on the 35 reinstated workers during their working hours.

EEALU has reported these breaches of the agreement to the company’s management, addressing the CEO, but has not yet received satisfactory responses.
