In South Korea, as many as 40,000 unionized workers staged a one-day strike Thursday to protest the government’s attempts to enact legislation tying salaries to productivity rather than seniority. This is one of the union organizers.
Park Joon-Hyoung: “About 60,000 workers from all over the country went on strike today, and about 50,000 workers joined the rally here. We demand a stop to adopting the illegal wage system based on performance, pushed by the government. It will hurt the people.”
