Supreme Court's Union Headquarters Struggles on Fasting to Take Back Full-time Wages

When the court considered taking back wages for employees who worked as full-time union workers and received salaries from non-union states, the union protested.

At a press conference yesterday (18th), the court headquarters of the national civil service union held a shaved head ceremony for Lee Sung-min, head of the union, and said it would go on an indefinite hunger strike.

Earlier in October last year, the Board of Audit and Inspection launched an audit and took caution after it was pointed out that a court official working as a full-time union official was paid without taking a leave of absence.

In response, the union countered that there was no problem because the payment of wages and the performance of the predecessor's work were made through collective agreements and labor-management agreements.

It is estimated that 100 million won per person will have to be returned if wages are recovered while the court administration is conducting an audit.
