노동계, 내년 최저임금 1만2천원 요구…올해보다 16.3% 인상(종합)

AI Summary

South Korea is confronting widespread labor exploitation connected to a wage system that calculates overtime pay in advance using fixed lump sums rather than hour-by-hour tracking. The government released administrative guidance in April to prevent abuses of this system, though critics question whether voluntary guidelines can effectively address what has become normalized practice. Attention is also being directed toward the lived experiences and dignity of vulnerable workers, including those in agricultural sectors.
