[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Since its establishment in 1953, CJ CheilJedang, which has consistently practiced 'no-union management,' is now seeing movements to form a labor union.


According to industry sources on the 10th, some CJ CheilJedang employees have formed a union executive committee and opened a related Kakao channel account to guide the membership registration process.


The executive committee introduced themselves through the 'CJ CheilJedang Labor Union' KakaoTalk channel notice, stating that they are affiliated with the National Food Industry Labor Union Federation (Food Industry Federation), which is under the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU).


Regarding union membership eligibility, all CJ CheilJedang corporate employees except registered executives can join the union, and for other CJ Group affiliates, if necessary, they can be connected to the KCTU.



They also promised anonymity for members. The executive committee explained that unless the member personally discloses their membership status, the company cannot confirm it under any circumstances, and except for certain individuals within the executive committee including the union chairman, members cannot be identified.
