They failed to reach an agreement and said they would resume discussions at first light. With the union\u2019s planned company-wide strike set to begin on the 21st\u2014just a day away\u2014attention is focused on whether the parties can narrow their differences. <\/p>\n<p> At about 1:00 a.m. on the 20th, the Central Labor Commission announced it had concluded the second day of the second post-mediation session. Because the meeting crossed into the 20th, officials reclassified it as the third session; the meeting proceeded and was recessed at 12:30 a.m. The commission plans to reconvene the third session at 10:00 a.m., roughly 9 hours and 30 minutes later. <\/p>\n<p> The talks began at 10:00 a.m. on the 19th at the Central Labor Commission in the Sejong Government Complex, but negotiations continued past midnight into the 20th, lasting more than 14 hours. <\/p>\n<p> At around 7:14 p.m., Park Su-geun, chair of the Central Labor Commission, said he expected an agreement, a draft proposal, or a decision on acceptance by about 10:00 p.m.; if talks ran late, he anticipated a decision by roughly 10:30 p.m. <\/p>\n<p> By about 11:00 p.m., some believed the post-mediation had concluded. However, late-stage disagreements over how to calculate performance bonuses prevented a deal. The chief points of contention were the size of the bonus pool, whether to remove the cap and institutionalize the system, and how to distribute payments among business units. <\/p>\n<p> If the mediation that resumes at 10:00 a.m. fails to produce an agreement, the union is likely to proceed with the previously announced 18-day company-wide strike beginning on the 21st.
