On August 14, Samsung Biologics' labor union and management agreed to enter mediation to settle disputes over wage increases and personnel system improvements. The union confirmed its acceptance of the management's post-dispute mediation proposal during their 24th collective bargaining session on August 11. Both sides will submit signed documents to the Incheon Regional Labor Relations Commission by August 14.
Post-dispute mediation, a system agreed upon by both parties, aims to resolve labor disputes through an arbitrator appointed by the labor relations commission. This agreement marks a shift from the ongoing hardline standoff, following a partial strike in late April and a full strike from May 1 to May 5. Despite the strikes, the union maintained a work-to-rule struggle, refusing overtime and holiday work.
Management has also agreed to the mediation, demonstrating its willingness to resolve the situation. The rapid acceleration of negotiations is now expected, with labor and management eager to move forward with future discussions.
