Translation resultKia Union Ramps Up Wage Pressure, Cites Samsung\u2019s Bonus DealKia\u2019s union (000270) intensified pressure on management on the 21st, citing Samsung Electronics\u2019 tentative agreement on performance bonuses and urging the company to \u201clearn from Samsung\u2019s resolve,\u201d the union said in an internal newsletter distributed that day.The union noted that Samsung reached a no\u2011strike wage agreement and will pay a special performance bonus equal to 12% of business results. By contrast, Kia\u2019s union has continued its campaign for a special bonus while the company has consistently ignored those demands, the union said.\u201cThe difference between Samsung and Kia is clear,\u201d the union said, arguing it comes down to \u201cthe ideology and resolve of management.\u201d \u201cWorkers on the production floor are the primary beneficiaries of company profits,\u201d the union added, saying \u201cproduction should be run with workers at the center.\u201dThe Kia union is demanding that the company pay 30% of last year\u2019s operating profit as performance bonuses. Last year, Kia reported operating profit of KRW 9,078,100,000,000 (about $6.81 billion). If the union\u2019s demand were met, Kia would pay roughly KRW 2,720,000,000,000 (about $2.04 billion) in bonuses \u2014 a sum that exceeds Kia\u2019s operating profit in the first quarter of this year, KRW 2,205,100,000,000 (about $1.65 billion).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
