Naver's metaverse affiliate stages walkout, 2nd collective action this year

Unionized workers at Naver Z Corp., Naver's metaverse affiliate, held a walkout involving about 120 employees to protest a wage freeze, marking their second collective action this year. The union criticized the company for freezing wages while increasing executive pay, following a similar strike earlier in September. This labor unrest follows similar actions by Kakao Corp. workers in South Korea's portal service industry.
