I am from South Korea. Hyundai Heavy Industries' Labor Union, the union of the largest and probably the most productive shipyard in the world in Ulsan, is likely one of the strongest union in the world.

The union maintains a YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@HHIUN87728. It was established 1987-07-28.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uXqkbpy-6s is an official music video of The Song of Hyundai Heavy Industries' Labor Union. Lyrics is like "Comrades, remember, the spring of '89, we will fight with our lives" etc, referring to one of the most legendary event in South Korean labor history, 128 days strike at HHI of 1989.

The union is a sectoral union, a chapter under Korean Metal Worker's Union, but it is so large it has a special carveout solely reserved for it. Korean Metal Worker's Union otherwise forbids company-specific union.

Since this was well received, here is a full translation of The Song of Hyundai Heavy Industries' Labor Union, done by ChatGPT and reviewed by me:

  The Song of Hyundai Heavy Industries Union

  Brothers of Hyundai, standing tall,
  Piercing violence and suppression's call!

  Forward! Forward! Let us rush on through!
  Towards the liberation of workers, true!

  Even if the power's violence is widespread,
  We'll fight with our lives, ahead we'll tread!

  Liberation! For liberation we fight!
  Struggle! For struggle we unite!

  At the vanguard of the workers' liberation call,
  Hyundai Heavy Industries Union, standing tall!

  The Sun is rising over the Mipo bay,
  The hot tears of our mothers, they say

  Forward! Forward! Let us rush on through!
  Towards the liberation of people, true!

  Comrades! Don't you remember the spring of '89?
  We'll fight with our lives, our destinies entwine!

  Liberation! For liberation we fight!
  Struggle! For struggle we unite!

  At the vanguard of the people's liberation call,
  Hyundai Heavy Industries Union, above all!
