At Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, negotiations are still ongoing between labor and management.

There are a lot of voices saying that somehow it should come to a conclusion within this week, but the biggest issue is again the issue of wages.



Reporter Jo Yoon-ha pointed out who is right and what the solution is.



<Reporter> This



is the income statement of 44-year-old A, a subcontractor of Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering.



In 2015, I was paid 50 million won for one year, but six years later, it dropped to 34 million won last year.



That's a decrease of 16 million won, a third of that.



Another subcontractor, 55-year-old B, also received 53 million won in 2014, but last year it was 31 million won, a decrease of 40%.



The wage cut is clear, but there are different interpretations between labor and management.



The union claims bonuses were previously up to 550%, but as subcontractors cut this money, their salaries have been reduced by more than 30% on average.



Because of various harmful substances, the employees at the headquarters were also in charge of avoiding painting, but the treatment was worse.



[Site subcontractor: I think that living as a subcontractor in a shipyard is like hell.

In reality, most of the work is done by subcontractors, who are paid only 50% of that of regular workers.]

However, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, the original contractor, says, 'Some are right and some are wrong'.



It is true that wages have decreased, but the working hours themselves have decreased as the 52-hour week is applied.



He also complains that the shipbuilding industry is in bad shape and the company has been in the red for several years, and that the salaries of the head office staff have also decreased.



[Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering official: The less you work, the less you get paid.

All yes.

I also changed the first two seats.]



However, it is pointed out that the head office must show a responsible attitude now that the company has risen to the world's number one in terms of orders again, as the workers suffered wage cuts when the economy was bad, whether at the headquarters or subcontractors.



[Lee Byung-hoon/Professor, Department of Sociology, Chung-Ang University: Woncheong (Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering) signs labor costs as a unit price contract and uses it to raise wages or pay wages. We can raise wages.]



In the end, if wage increase is an issue, not only Daewoo Shipbuilding's headquarters, but also the major shareholders, Korea Development Bank and the government, seem to need a forward-looking approach.
