Korean guitar workers were once employed at Cort and Cor-Tek. There they built guitars for American companies like Fender, Gibson and Ibanez. But, Morello says, they had poor working conditions.
“When the workers organized in 2006, formed a union and began demanding more justice and dignity in the workplace,” Morello says, “the company fired everyone wholesale, shut the factory and moved them to China.”
