A bill to shorten the work week from 68 to 52 hours was introduced today in spite of fierce opposition from many companies with two notable exceptions, Shilla Hotels reduced the work week for salaried employees to 35 hours, and LG Electronics to 40 hours.
A bill to raise the minimum wage to a little over $7 per hour was passed earlier this year despite threats that this would force companies to reduce employment.
Still have a long way to go.
