A labor union has been established at NHN.


On the 18th, the NHN union announced its founding declaration, officially announcing the establishment of the NHN branch of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions' Chemical, Textile, and Food Workers' Union.


The NHN union stated, "Recently, NHN has been reducing and changing welfare and work systems for various reasons," adding, "These actions are being carried out unilaterally under the pretext that the company is facing difficulties. The beginning of change is the labor union."


The NHN union explained that it will operate based on principles such as ▲legitimacy grounded in law ▲continuous improvement of labor conditions ▲participation as a community.


They emphasized, "We will steadily address tasks for the benefit of union members and, furthermore, all employees, including ensuring job security, wage increases, strengthening welfare, improving labor conditions, eliminating discrimination in the workplace, and fostering harmony between labor and management as well as among workers."


The NHN union said, "We will strive to bring about positive changes for NHN Group employees," and requested NHN workers to join and participate in the union.


The IT Committee under the Chemical, Textile, and Food Workers' Union includes unions from various IT and game companies such as Naver, Kakao, Nexon, Smilegate, XL Games, Webzen, and NCSoft.



With the establishment of the union at NHN, the domestic game industry now has its sixth labor union.
