SK Hynix Workers Form Unified Union to Address Profit-Sharing Bonus Dispute
Employees at South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix are forming a unified labor union combining production and office workers to strengthen bargaining power amid disputes over changes to a profit-sharing bonus scheme. The company previously agreed to distribute 10% of annual operating profits to staff over 10 years. Management's proposal to pay part of the bonus in restricted company stock during this year's negotiations has faced strong worker opposition, citing concerns over share-price risks and trust erosion.
