GM Korea, labor union reach tentative wage deal
SEOUL, July 22 (Yonhap) -- GM Korea Co., the South Korean unit of General Motors Co., and its labor union reached a tentative wage deal on Thursday, one day after its unionized workers went on partial strike for higher pay.
The deal includes an increase of 30,000 won (US$26) in monthly base pay and a one-off bonus of 4.5 million won.
The wage agreement is subject to a vote by union members.
