Hyung-A Kim tells the story of Korea's first generation of skilled workers in the heavy and chemical industries sector, following their dramatic transition from 1970s-era industrial warriors to labor-union militant Goliat Warriors, and ultimately to a labor aristocracy with guaranteed job security, superior wages, and even job inheritance for their children.
