Kakao Faces Strike Risk as Wage Talks Stall Over Performance Pay Structure

Kakao’s labor-management tensions are deepening as the two sides have failed to reach agreement in this year’s wage negotiations. The union says there is a problem with the company’s performance distribution structure and has warned of collective action, while a strike cannot be ruled out in the worst case. Kakao is reported to have said it is continuing negotiations in good faith. The dispute centers on differences over the wage agreement, and a prolonged delay could increase uncertainty inside the organization and raise concerns about operational pressure. Source: mk.co.kr
