WHAT HE HAS SEEN, HEARD, FELT WHILE ON THE SIT-IN AND OUTSIDE
A 49-year-old fired worker Jae-bok has been holding a sit-in for 5 years with his colleagues. After the union lost the final lawsuit asking for the invalidation of his recent layoffs, they decide to take 10 days off. Jae-bok goes back to home and gets a part-time job at a furniture factory during a leave to earn money to pay for his daughter’s college tuition deposits and long padding jumper. At a time when he is satisfied with his re-starting labor and his small daily life with his daughters, Jae-bok is offered a full-time job.

There was a laid-off worker, who has been on the street for more than 10 years, left the sit-in three times, and back to the sit-in three times. I asked him why he came back. If I knew why he returned, it felt like I could understand how he was able to fight on the streets for more than a decade. He replied that “Because it has been planned and I have to finish it.” He always came back and kept his schedule and finished it. I tried to focus on what he might have seen, heard and felt while on the sit-in site, outside the sit-in site.
