The Ministry of Science and ICT is taking steps to ensure service stability in anticipation of a strike by the Kakao union.
On June 8, the ministry held a meeting with Kakao officials at the Government Sejong Center to discuss measures for maintaining service continuity and stability ahead of the union's planned strike on June 10.
The meeting included Choi Woo-hyuk, head of the ministry's Information Protection and Network Policy Office, and Seo Young-hoon, Kakao's vice president. The two sides discussed strategies for the stable operation of key digital services, including KakaoTalk and KakaoMap, as well as emergency response systems.
They agreed to maintain a cooperative framework to continuously monitor service operations and ensure prompt communication and response in the event of any disruptions.
Choi emphasized, "The stability of digital platform services used by a large number of citizens is a very important issue," urging efforts to secure service continuity and stability to prevent any inconvenience to the public.
Meanwhile, the Kakao Community Labor Union plans to hold a partial strike and rally in the Pangyo area of Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, on the morning of June 10. The strike will involve unions from five subsidiaries, including Kakao, KakaoPay, Kakao Entertainment, DK Tech, and XL Games. The union is demanding that 10% of operating profits be allocated for performance bonuses and that the compensation system be made more transparent.
