In a statement issued today (1st), the LG Uplus union said its call to set aside 30% of operating profit for performance bonuses reflects six years of consistent, ongoing struggle\u2014not a sudden or opportunistic demand. The union argued that branding this demand as an abrupt, &#8220;excessive&#8221; request in line with recent government sentiment gravely undermines the legitimacy of their campaign. It added that shifting blame without verifying facts weakens labor solidarity, and criticized those who, to deflect public criticism, label another union\u2019s legitimate proposal &#8220;unreasonable&#8221; and cast it aside as a political target\u2014an act the union called cowardly.Demanding a formal apology from the Samsung Electronics union, LG Uplus warned that demonizing each other\u2019s demands only plays into the &#8220;labor-vs-labor&#8221; conflict frame that serves capital and entrenched power. #SamsungElectronics #LGUplus #LaborUnion YONHAP News TV inquiries
