I’m all for worker’s rights, but killing the plant manager was a touch much.
Then you really aren't going to like the actions the OG unions took.
😂 good point. I’m just thinking that since it’s NK, the “manager” probably didn’t have much more freedom or authority than the employees did. I’d be very surprised if he benefited from the embezzlement. I’d expect the higher ups to take it all.
North Korean workers in China. The Mexicans of China if you will. The plant manager wasn't likely going to buy mega yachts. But finding someone with so little regard for their fellow humans carries a pay bump there. Just as it does in the western world.
They can also just refuse to do the job because it hurts the laborers that work for them. They got laborers doing this because they didn't treat them like people. I don't think they should expect to be treated well when they treat others poorly.
you dont know what that guy has done. maybe he's killed workers himself.
Dunno if we should justify murder by violent mobs by speculating that the person might've deserved it.
I agree with you, but I also understand the French people taking King Louis and Marie Antoinette to the guillotine. Just saying, the situation there might be so intense and oppressive, that the killing could at least be understood even if not just. We just don't know enough :/
I agree the situation is oppressive and untenable, but the plant manager isn't the same as a King. We don't know if the plant manager had the actual power to fix anything, given the corruption and embezzling going on behind the scenes. A King is the top of the pyramid, this guy wasn't necessarily, so I don't condone his murder based on pure speculation. The French people didn't have to speculate that the King and Queen were directly responsible for the peoples' misery and oppression.
We just don't know enough.
I would say that's a good reason not to condone mob violence, not a reason to support it.
Why not? You're speculating for the inverse stance.
Might depend on the Plant manager. If they were just a regular person trying to do their job, then yeah, that's a pretty shitty thing to do. Like, I understand when my manager needs us to do certain things or pushes on some aspect, they're under the gun as much as us workers to get results. I actually get along well with my managers and I like all of them, I even actually enjoy my job a bit. Not sure how I'd react though if I wasn't getting paid, that's kind of pushing people into desperation.
If the person was the cause of many of their misgivings and was just a general prick to everybody, then... I don't know, maybe they had it coming? Article only mentioned a "representative" though, so not sure why that person in was singled out, maybe it was an NK internal security person who reported people to their government?
