Kakao Union Stages 'Logout Day' Strike; Services Remain Operational

[Economy 365]

The labor union of Kakao has entered a full-day work stoppage today (June 29).

The union held a "Logout Day," during which members took a day of annual leave or time off and logged out of the company's internal work systems.

This marks the second industrial action following a four-hour partial strike on June 10.

The action involves five entities, including Kakao, Kakao Pay, Kakao Enterprise, DK Techin, and XL Games.

Labor and management have been unable to narrow their differences regarding the performance-based bonus system for about two months.

The union is demanding performance bonuses equivalent to 10 million won, which is about 13 to 14 percent of operating profit, but the company maintains that it is difficult to accept as it would place a burden on management.

However, Kakao stated that it is maintaining a real-time response system for major services such as KakaoTalk, ensuring that services for users continue to operate normally.
