▲ Seven security guards dismissed via text messages by a security service employment agency which sent temporary security guards to work at the New Hyundai Apartment in Apgujeong-dong in southern Seoul hold a banner saying "Withdraw Unfair Dismissal, Stop Union Suppression".
Union suppression is suspected as all of seven dismissed security guards are either union members or union officers. The security guards employment agency exacted the agency workers to make a 'slavery employment contract' of three months. In 2014, a security guard in the same apartment committed suicide due to the unbearable humiliation of verbal abuse by a resident.
