Finance union actions spread amid wage disputes and opposition to relocation

Collective action by finance-sector unions is spreading in South Korea. At KakaoBank, a dispute over performance rewards and wage increases has escalated into a strike, with about 700 members joining a one-day walkout in a “logout day” format. Separately, unions at NH Nonghyup and state-run policy banks are stepping up opposition to a second phase of the government’s plan to relocate public institutions outside the capital region.
