After Samsung Electronics workers’ struggle, demands for performance pay and wage increases are emerging in many workplaces. In response, the bosses' organisation insists that performance pay is not subject to collective bargaining.

Meanwhile, the Lee Jae-myung govt. has proposed social dialogue on profit-sharing schemes and solidarity wages, arguing for ‘beneficial coexistence’ by narrowing the gap between big businesses and subcontractors.

How should we view these proposals? Do wage struggles by workers at big companies merely widen the gap with low-wage workers? From a Marxist perspective, we will examine these recent wage issues.
