The tug-of-war of ‘hand-baking and employment succession’… “Efforts to reach consensus until tomorrow”
Labor-management wage negotiations with subcontractors for Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering failed to reach an agreement even on the 21st, the first week of negotiations.
The labor and management of Daewoo Shipbuilding’s subcontractor began negotiations at 10 a.m. and repeated several suspensions and continuations that day.
Labor and management, who were negotiating at the 4th continuation, announced at 10:30 pm that it would be difficult to reach a conclusion as expectations for a negotiation from outside increased.
Hong Ji-wook, vice chairman of the Metal Workers’ Union, explained to reporters, “Access to opinions today may or cannot be done.”
Vice-Chairman Hong said, “I will try to reach a consensus between labor and management until tomorrow as possible.”
However, to the question, “Can it be considered that a considerable part of the opinion approach has been achieved?”, he replied, “I don’t think it should be interpreted that way.”
Labor and management, who had reached an agreement on the increase in wages, continued a tense tug of war over claims for damages and employment succession.
Although the difference of opinion has narrowed compared to the previous day, it is said that it was not enough to reach an agreement.
The labor and management plan to meet once more today and continue negotiations on the 22nd.
