President Lee Jae Myung, who is a former rights lawyer and is seen as leading a union-friendly government, said in a social media post on May 18 that management rights should be respected as much as labour rights.

He said that workers should receive fair compensation for their labour, while shareholders who bear risks and losses through investments also deserve a share of corporate profit.

Can't stop laughing at this, Damn.

That... Is insane

We too have tights, y'know, like the right to starve out employees, the right to overwork our employees, the right to hold slaves...

Too soon?

As long as the compensation is unfair no one bats an eye. Don't you dare pay fair compensation, oh no that's not what unions are for. /s

Exactly. It's just corporate speak disguised as progressive politics. Talking about respecting management rights just as much as labor rights is a joke, especially when the playing field is already completely skewed. Peak comedy.
