The labor and management of Dong-A University have reached a tentative agreement on the wage agreement and collective agreement, putting the university back on a normal track.


Dong-A University announced on the 12th that it had reached a tentative agreement on the wage agreement and collective agreement with the Dong-A University branch of the National University Labor Union. The signing ceremony for the collective agreement will be held at a later date.


President Lee Hae-woo, branch chief Jo Hong-ryul, Vice President for Academic Affairs Kang Dae-sung, Lee Jae-dong, head of the Busan-Gyeongnam regional headquarters of the National University Labor Union, and other negotiation committee members and representatives from the school and labor union gathered on the afternoon of the 11th in the main conference room of Dong-A University Seunghak Campus to reach an agreement.

On that day, labor and management agreed on a wage agreement in which the union withdrew its demand for a wage increase for the 2023 academic year and agreed to follow the employment regulations.


The tentative agreement on the wage and collective agreements between labor and management at Dong-A University is significant in that it resolves the accumulated conflicts, normalizes labor-management relations, and lays the foundation for the university's new leap forward.



President Lee Hae-woo said, “I hope that this tentative agreement will serve as an opportunity for the university and the labor union to start anew with a fresh mind and united purpose,” adding, “Since the school is in a difficult situation, let us communicate and consider each other to overcome the challenges together.”
