Kia said 68% of 26,945 workers voted in favor of wage offers that include a 75,000 won ($ 64.30) increase in monthly base salary, two months of performance-based pay and cash bonuses. valued at 5.8 million won.

More than 1,600 of the 28,604 union members abstained, reports the Yonhap news agency.

But Kia rejected the union’s demand to extend the retirement age to 65 instead of 60 and to reinstate the laid-off workers.

The company and member union reached a tentative wage deal earlier this week without going on strike amid the pandemic.

This is the first time that Kia has signed a wage agreement without industrial action.

They are expected to sign the wage agreement on Monday.
