Talks on next year's minimum wage

Talks on next year's minimum wage

Labor activists hold a demonstration to demand next year's minimum hourly wage be set at 12,000 won in front of the Press Center in Seoul on April 18, 2023, where the Minimum Wage Commission is set to hold the commission's first plenary session. The commission failed to hold the meeting as the commission's head and other members representing public interests failed to attend it in protest of a labor activists' rally at the meeting. The 27-member commission, comprising nine each from three sides -- employers, employees and those representing social interests -- annually holds plenary meetings around this time to decide the following year's minimum wage.
