An increase in discontent and demands by labor has emerged since the restructuring of businesses in 1998, when some labor unions were involved in illegal gatherings and strikes. However, since 2000, the number of illegal and violent strikes has drastically declined.
The government will ensure peaceful and legal gatherings by labor, but will take stern legal action against any behavior that goes against the law, uses force or leads to social disorder.
Therefore, continuous efforts will be made to discuss and persuade labor in order to achieve “cooperative labor-management relations”, which will support the development of the economy as well as bring stability to society.
