[Alpha Biz= Reporter Kim Sangjin] Kakao Union is set to address the crisis stemming from the imprisonment of Kim Beom-su, the head of the Management Innovation Committee, in collaboration with the company's management. They have clearly expressed their opposition to the potential sale of KakaoVX.
On the 25th, the Korea Chemical Fiber Food Industry Workers' Union Kakao Branch (Kakao Union) announced that it will discuss and negotiate with the company to address the crisis caused by Kim's imprisonment and the ongoing management challenges. Kakao Union believes that overcoming the current crisis requires joint efforts from both labor and management, and they plan to explore solutions together through dialogue.
The union has expressed strong concern over the ongoing news regarding the sale of Kakao affiliates. In a recent notice, they demanded assurance of crew participation in the restructuring process and prior consultation regarding labor conditions if a sale occurs. They will also stage a protest against the sale in front of KakaoVX next week, extending their actions to the Pangyo Station area where Kakao Games and Kakao are located.
Seung-wook Seo, head of Kakao Union, stated, “We oppose the unilateral restructuring of affiliates, including the potential private equity sale of KakaoVX. We will expand our resistance actions starting next week to oppose restructuring that shifts responsibility solely onto workers.”
