SK hynix Inc. unionized employees are on the verge of establishing an integrated labor union, with the ambitious goal of securing more than half of the company's workforce as members. According to industry sources, a preparatory task force plans to file an application to create the integrated union and officially launch it as early as Wednesday. This new union aims to recruit approximately 18,000 out of SK hynix's total 35,000 employees, in an effort to achieve majority-union status.

The task force emphasized that bringing together the voices of employees across various job categories and regions is their top priority.
