KT New Labor Union said it opposed the outcome of the first wage and collective bargaining agreement under Park Yun-young's leadership and criticized KT labor union, the party that handled the negotiations. On the 14th, KT New Labor Union released a statement making public the result of the first wage and collective bargaining talks under Park Yun-young's leadership.
KT New Labor Union argued that the talks were rushed through as a hasty deal, with the requested wage increase rate and key improvements to working conditions left unreflected. It also said the agreement had drawn backlash from members because it amounted to a formal, empty accord with no promised results.
The core of the agreement is a 3% increase in base pay and a KRW 3 million one-time payment. However, the union's original wage increase demand was 6%, and the final wage increase rate was only half of that. The proposal to pay holiday performance bonuses and 5% of operating profit was also not reflected.
KT New Labor Union said the holiday performance bonus and operating profit payment proposal demanded by the employee stock ownership association were not reflected at all. It added that, as the real annual salary gap with competitors widens, the outcome of this agreement could cause an irrecoverable expansion of the wage disadvantage gap. It also said employee treatment remained among the lowest in the industry even after Park Yun-young took office.
The group denounced KT labor union, saying it joined the negotiations and accepted the proposed 3% increase, but the originally demanded agreement terms were not reflected. It said it regarded this as an outright fraud.
The group also raised the issue of accountability for the head of the employee stock ownership association, saying that person had been the party to the original pledge to members. It singled out the head of the employee stock ownership association as responsible for the mass-member fraud.
The group also criticized the proposed improvement to the wage peak system. It said the proposal did not include abolition, did not include a reduction in the cut rate, and contained a policy of raising evaluations based on personnel performance reviews. It judged this to be not an improvement in working conditions but an attempt to rank members and a discriminatory idea, and said it was difficult to see it as a substantive improvement in working conditions. KT New Labor Union demanded that Park Yun-young and KT labor union immediately scrap the hasty agreement that insults the efforts of employees who have fallen to last place among the three mobile carriers, and draw up a new agreement that reflects the members' fair share.
