Plainclothes policemen detain a fired unionised worker fleeing from the SSangyong Motor plant in Pyeongtaek, about 70 km (40 miles) south of Seoul, June 26, 2009. Policemen, temporary security guards, SSangyong's managerial officers and management-backed employees unaffected by layoff plan entered the plant on Friday, where about 1,000 unionised workers have been on strike since May 21, demanding management keep the assembly line workforce at current levels in a self-rescue plan the company is devising under a court order. The carmaker has called for more than 1,000 workers to be laid off, triggering protests from the labour union. [Agencies]
