They began reporting that profits were down and they might go under, so employees started working harder, longer hours, cutting corners. Then they found out the company was making record profits. The company is also big into union-busting, and opens a second, union-free factory in Daejeon in 1991. In 1997 they opened a cheaper factory in China, and over the next few years they would replace their employees with immigrant labourers. A union formed in Daejeon in 2006, and then in 2007 both plants closed. Presumably there are other plants out there still employing migrant workers in terrible conditions.  Media Coverage  Future Plans  Stories Add your own story  Photo Galleries First Visit Sat, May 28th, 2011 posted by Steed 10 pictures Second Time Thu, Aug 4th, 2011 posted by Steed 18 pictures Add your own photos Mark all galleries as Seen  Web Links http://en.wikipedi.../wiki/Cort_Guitars http://cortaction.wordpress.com http://cortaction.tistory.com  Contribute Edit this Location  Moderator Rating The moderator rating is a neutral rating of the content quality, photography, and coolness of this location.
