Workers at KB Kookmin Bank, a major South Korean lender, will go on a general strike next month for the first time in 19 years, its labor union said Thursday.
More than 50 percent of some 12,000 unionized workers voted in favor of the walkout, meeting the minimum required for the passage, in protest of the management's offer for this year's bonuses and wage payment system, the union said, adding that the strike will start on Jan. 8, 2019.
