ADVERTISEMENT The ultimatum came as about 1,000 union members armed with metal pipes, slingshots and inflammable paint thinner refuse to back down from their protest that has seen them take over the factory since May 21. It followed talks between creditors and contractors of Ssangyong as they tried to resolve the row over job cuts designed to save the Chinese-invested company. "Creditors agreed to file for bankruptcy in early August unless operations return to normal by the end of this month," said a statement from the company, the country's smallest carmaker. Riot police moved in on July 20 to end the occupation and took over some buildings, but strikers have held out in a barricaded paint shop at the plant at Pyeongtaek, 70 kilometres (44 miles) south of Seoul. There have been no hand-to-hand clashes but dozens of people were injured as strikers fired nuts and bolts from the industrial sized slingshots. The debt-stricken firm in February won court protection from creditors after China's Shanghai Automotive Industry gave up management control. But court-appointed managers have since struggled to turn it around through job cuts and cost savings. The programme calls for the sacking of 2,646 workers or 36 percent of the workforce, in what would be the country's first mass layoff since the onset of the global economic crisis in September. Some 1,670 workers have taken voluntary retirement but the remainder staged the sit-in. There have been clashes between strikers and employees trying to go to work. Ssangyong, which specialises in sport-utility vehicles and luxury sedans, said the strike had cost it 245.6 billion won (196.5 million dollars) in lost revenue and Seoul has warned the firm may go bankrupt if the crisis continues.
