Coway Reaches Wage Agreement with CS Doctor Union... "Strengthening Quality through Labor-Management Cooperation"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daeseop] Coway announced on the 11th that it has reached an agreement on key working conditions, including the wage plan following the transition to regular employment, through representative negotiations between labor and management with the CS Doctor labor union.

CS Doctor is a field organization responsible for product installation, relocation, and dismantling services, with a total workforce of 1,570 employees. It is affiliated with the National Democratic Labor Union Federation's National Home Appliance and Telecommunications Service Labor Union.

Coway has been conducting wage negotiations with the union while deciding to directly employ CS Doctors at headquarters. Following this transition to regular employment, CS Doctors will receive welfare benefits as regular employees, including an average increase in net income, as well as work support allowances, tuition assistance, housing loan support, and annual leave allowances, in addition to their basic salary.

The CS Doctor union had previously planned a general strike on the 10th due to unresolved differences with Coway over the details of wage negotiations, but this time labor and management reached an agreement.

A Coway official stated, "This agreement on working conditions is a groundbreaking decision, unlike other companies that have partially regularized specific jobs in the form of subsidiaries," adding, "With this agreement, labor and management will make their best efforts to strengthen service quality and maximize customer satisfaction through closer cooperation."
