OB Beer, Labor-Management Wage Negotiation Breakdown... Strike Begins on Next Month 1st
[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] The OB Beer labor union has decided to go on strike starting in August after facing difficulties in wage negotiations with management. This has raised concerns that the strike could disrupt product supply during the peak summer season when beer consumption increases.
According to the liquor industry on the 25th, the OB Beer union recently held strike votes at each factory, and strikes were approved at some locations.
OB Beer has three factories located in Gwangju Metropolitan City, Icheon City in Gyeonggi Province, and Cheongju City in Chungbuk Province. Among these, strikes have been confirmed at the Gwangju and Icheon factories. The strike is set to begin on August 1. The Cheongju factory will decide on participation in the strike after further discussions.
