After failed talks with management over pay and working conditions, the union staged a four-hour walkout yesterday and plans a six-hour strike on Friday, the paper said.
The report added that the union, which has 42,521 members, is threatening to raise the level of the strike to have their demands met: a greater say in managerial affairs and an 8.5% rise in salaries.
Since its creation in 1987, the union has launched collective action almost every year, the Korea Times noted.
The union reportedly is demanding that 30% of the company’s net profit be returned to them as a special bonus.
