HKSouth Korean labor unions are pushing for higher bonuses from major companies, following Samsung Electronics' agreement to pay out over $400,000 in bonuses to some employees. This comes amid ongoing strikes by workers at various firms, including Hyundai Motor, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, LG Uplus, Hanwha Aerospace, HD Hyundai Electric, and Kakao, who are demanding a percentage of operating profits be allocated for bonuses or the removal of bonus caps. These demands started with workers targeting Samsung and SK Hynix, the country's leading chipmakers, but have now expanded to other industries. The situation highlights the potential risks for investors in South Korea, where labor unions have historically been very active.
