Sejong: Officials from the science ministry and Kakao Corp. convened on Monday to strategize on maintaining stable operations for major services provided by the popular messenger app operator, Kakao, amidst an impending labor strike.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the meeting was conducted in Sejong, central Korea, in anticipation of a planned four-hour strike by Kakao's labor union later this week. This industrial action follows unsuccessful wage negotiations that were mediated by the government. During the meeting, officials deliberated on response strategies to mitigate potential disruptions to Kakao's services, which are integral to daily life for many users, including platforms like KakaoTalk and KakaoMap.
Moreover, Kakao and the science ministry reached a consensus to uphold a cooperative framework. This collaboration aims to facilitate prompt responses and efficient information sharing in the event of any service disruptions. The proactive measures discussed highlight the commitment of both parties to minimize inconvenience to users and ensure continuous service availability.
