Members of the Korea Zinc labor union under the Federation of Korean Trade Unions and the Mart Industry labor union under the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions gathered Tuesday afternoon at Gwanghwamun Square in Jongno-gu, Seoul, to demand that MBK Partners resolve the Homeplus crisis and abandon its hostile takeover attempt of Korea Zinc. Participants from both union federations — representing the Korea Zinc union and the Homeplus chapter of the Mart Industry union — condemned what they called MBK's speculative behavior, accusing the private equity firm of destroying key national industries and pushing workers toward death.
