Gyeonggi labor panel rejects union request to post Naver unit bargaining demand

A regional labor panel in Gyeonggi has rejected a union request seeking to require Naver to post notice of a demand for integrated bargaining across affiliates, industry sources said. The dispute centers on whether Naver headquarters has sufficient authority over affiliates’ working conditions to be a direct bargaining party. The union argues headquarters exerts substantial influence, while Naver says affiliates operate independently. The union plans to seek a review by the National Labor Relations Commission.
