Naver Union will use their collective power to achieve common demands such as a 10% salary increase and better working conditions.

Naver's labor union is demanding better working conditions and salaries for employees of its five subsidiaries. This comes after months of negotiations with management. The union is calling for a 10% increase in the annual salary of new employees of these affiliates, which is currently only 50 to 60 percent of the starting salary of the headquarters, and the establishment of an organization dedicated to preventing and investigating harassment in the workplace.

Naver's labor union "Joint Statement" said on the 18th, "As a result of voting between 14th and 15th for union members of five affiliates companies of Naver, including NIT, NTS, Green Web Service, Incoms, and Compartners, all five were approved."

Earlier, the Joint Statement held 10 to 16 negotiations with the management for four to eight months about a common demand for five subsidiaries that Naver owns 100% of its shares.
During the negotiations, the Joint Statement called for a 10% increase in the annual salary of new employees of these affiliates, which is currently only 50 to 60 percent of the starting salary of the headquarters, and the establishment of an organization dedicated to preventing and investigating harassment in the workplace.

A union official said, "When we started the first walkout in 2019, we received attention for new group actions such as 'stick balloons instead of vests' and 'viewing Avengers together leaving office early' in accordance with the characteristics of the Internet and game industry labor unions.” The strike actions of these five companies will also be a new attempt, but will be more powerful and stronger group action. ”

Korean corporate groups have a habit of creating separate corporations to classify the status system of in-house subcontractors.
