Nexon Korea becomes first game company with a union
Online gaming giant Nexon Korea launched a labor union on Monday, a first for a game service provider in Korea.“The establishment of the Nexon union will act as a tow truck to improve labor conditions in the gaming industry as a whole,” the union said in a press release.
“Labor conditions in the local gaming industry are very poor, although the local market has expanded to a 12 trillion won ($10.8 billion) business.”
Nexon employees, as well as workers from affiliates such as NexonNetworks, Neople and Nexon Red, are able to join the new organization, it said.
A total of 300 people have joined as of 3 p.m. and that number is expected to increase going forward, the union added.
