The Kakao labor union has initiated a collective action after failing to reach an agreement with management over wage and collective bargaining negotiations.
On June 29, the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions' Kakao branch announced it would hold a "Logout Day." Union members will use vacation or off days to stop work for the entire day and will log out of work systems as part of the strike.
Approximately 2,100 union members from five targeted subsidiaries are expected to participate in the strike. The union reported that as of the previous day, around 2,100 members had expressed their intent to join, and they anticipate that the actual number may exceed this figure due to additional participants on the day of the strike.
The Logout Day will take place throughout the entire day of June 29, without a specific start or end time.
However, major services, including KakaoTalk, will continue to operate normally. Staff responsible for service operations are excluded from the strike, so user services are not expected to be significantly affected.
The union is currently discussing its response strategies following this collective action and intends to continue negotiations with management.
