Film starts at 7pm. Admission only €5. Full bar afterwards.

The first in a series of Indymedia film nights in association with SIPTU.

Indymedia and SIPTU present "Friend or Foe", the opening film for a monthly screening night (on the last Thursday of the month in Liberty Hall).

Friend or Foe documents the bitter struggle of contracted workers at KT (Korean Telecommunication) against globalisation. Under the imperatives of structural adjustment, KT forced workers to work under "non-regular" contracts at lower pay, heightened job insecurity and limited legal protection vis-à-vis regularly employed workers. When the company announced its new "downsizing" plan in 2000, they fired 7,000 contract workers. The targeted workers launched a new union and waged a bitter struggle. Friend or Foe exposes the serious situation imposed by globalisation on workers compelled to accept temporary status and provides critical analysis of the weaknesses of the current labour movement. Directed by award-winning female director Jiyoung Lee, who won the Best Documentary prize at the 2002 Pusan International Film Festival.

Admission is only €5. Film starts at 7pm. Duration 89 minutes. Korean with English subtitles.

Please come and support Indymedia Ireland.

Hi all,
Since we're on the subjects of films, I recently completed my WTO docu when the party came to Hong Kong in December last year.
