South Korea: Interview with Chanyoung Heo, Kuehne+Nagel Korea Labour Union
Published 5 days, 13 hours ago
Description
Chanyoung is leader of a small union in Korea that represents workers at Kuehne+Nagel, a German-owned logistics company. For 20 years, industrial relations at the company were good. Now they aren't. What happened? Why did the workers vote overwhelmingly to go on strike?
Listen to the podcast to learn more, including about the company's new manager, imported from Europe, who told the union that he did not feel bound by a collective bargaining agreement which he did not sign. Yes, really. He said that.
