Description

North Korea is demanding a wage hike for its workers at the Kaesong Industrial Complex starting with their pay for March.
South Korea says the issue must be settled through talks and reiterated that the companies must refrain from giving into Pyongyang′s demands.
Hwang Sung-hee reports.
Following North Korea′s demand for a wage hike for its workers at the Kaesong Industrial Complex starting with their pay for March, South Korea has reiterated the issue must be settled through government-level talks.

″Since April 10th is the pay day, we are trying to arrange a meeting between the Kaesong Industrial District Management Committee and the North Korean government.″

North Korea wants the workers′ monthly wage raised from 70 dollars and 35 cents to 74 dollars, which exceeds the current five-percent salary cap.
On Thursday, the South Korean government asked companies at the joint business park for a wage freeze until a deal is reached between the two Koreas.
The unification ministry reassured on Friday that the firms will be compensated for any potential damage to their business operations.

″For companies affected by following the government′s wage guideline, we will review all cases and come up with a measure to minimize the damage, including the distribution of insurance payouts.″

The Kaesong Industrial Complex, where more than 54-thousand North Koreans work at 1-hundred-24 South Korean companies, is the last remaining form of inter-Korean cooperation.
The latest tug-of-war between the Koreas is raising concerns about another unilateral shutdown of the complex by Pyongyang.
But most experts say such a scenario is unlikely since maintaining the joint business park is just as important to the North as it is to the South.
