Shipyards /to hire

new workers /despite ongoing restructuring

(構造調整 進行가운데, 新入社員 採用..造船3社)

South Korea's three major shipbuilders plan to recruit hundreds of new workers until next month

despite the ongoing industrywide restructuring drive that includes massive layoffs of the

existing workforce, sources said Thursday. 韓國 造船3社는, 現存하는 勞動力의 大量解雇를 포함

하는 産業全般에 걸친 構造調整 推進中임에도 불구하고, 다음 달(5월)까지 수 백 명의 新入

社員 採用계획을 세우고 있다.

The three -- Hyundai Heavy Industries, Daewoo Shipbuilding& Marine Engineering (DSME) and Samsung Heavy Industries -- are seeking to hire a combined 400 college graduates by the end

of May, according to the sources. 造船3社(現代重工業, 大宇造船海洋엔지니어링, 三星重工業)는

금년 5월말까지 大卒社員 總400명을 採用할 計劃을 세우고 있다.,

Market leader Hyundai Heavy, in particular, will take up 300 workers of the total planned employment, almost the same level of its hiring last year. DSME will also hire 20-30 new workers

by the same cited period, the sources said. 市況의 先頭走者인 現代重工業은 특히 昨年에

역시 20명~30명의 新入社員을 同一言及期間(5월말)까지 雇傭할 예정이다.

Samsung Heavy has not disclosed its detailed near-term employment plan but the sources said

that the number will likely be in the double digits, a far smaller number than around the 400

it hired during the first half of last year.

The combined employment is about a third of the number of their usually first-half hirings.
總 全體雇傭 숫자는, 일반적인 前半期 雇傭의 約 1/3의 숫자이다

This still could provide a much-needed chance for many college graduates trying to land a job

in the shipbuilding industry at a time when the whole industry is reeling from a protracted

business slump and corporate restructuring, market watchers said.

Earlier this week, the Financial Services Commission, the country's financial watchdog,

demanded local shipyards ramp up self-restructuring efforts including massive layoffs and

sales of non-core assets. The recruitment of new workers will likely be carried out "separately"

from the planned layoffs, they said.

Under their restructuring plans, Hyundai Heavy and Samsung Heavy are expected to eliminate

up to 1,000 workers each through voluntary retirement or attrition, while DSME will let go of

2,300 more until 2019.

The shipbuilding industry, once regarded as a backbone of the country's economic growth

and job creation, has been reeling from mounting losses caused by an industrywide slump

and increased costs.

The big three shipyards racked up a combined loss of 7.7 trillion won ($6.7 billion) last year.

It was the first time that all three of the nation's largest industry players registered losses.

According to the data by combined employment Clarkson Research Services, South Korean shipbuilders had an order backlog totaling 27.59 million compensated gross tons (CGTs)

as of end-March, the lowest /since March 2004.  共同雇傭클락슨리서치에 따르면,韓國 造船社

sacks(=dismisses) 25% of executives

(現代重, 任員25% 解任斷行)

Shipbuilder is gearing to press labor union to make concessions

Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) has dismissed 25 percent of its executives in its first-half

personnel reshuffle to reduce labor costs and cope with falling orders amid the prolonged

global industry slump. 현대중공업 하반기 인사개편에서 임원 25% 해임을 단행했다./지속

되는 전세계적인 산업불황가운데 수주감소 극복과 노동비용 절감 차원에서..

The move is also seen as an attempt to press the labor union, which has refused to make

any concessions, to agree to a range of management-initiated restructuring measures,

including manpower reduction. Unionized workers even demanded a wage hike despite

the shipbuilder losing billions of dollars over the past two years.

HHI, headed by CEO Kwon Oh-gap, said Thursday that it decided to reduce the number

of its executives by 25 percent, adding that its affiliates followed suit. Following the latest

personnel reshuffle, some 60 executives lost their jobs, pushing down the number

of senior officials at HHI and its subsidiaries to 190.

"We are doing everything we can to revitalize our operations. Our CEO and senior

officials have been returning half of their salaries to the company over the past year,

among other painstaking self-rescue measures," an HHI spokesman said. "To cope

with falling orders and other increasingly unfavorable business conditions, we had no

other choice but to let go of one quarter of our executives."

The shipbuilder has secured only five new orders this year. In particular, its off-shore plant

division has been unable to win new contracts since November 2014 amid falling crude

oil prices.

"With less work to do, our shipyards increasingly remain empty. If we fail to prevail in

competition with Chinese shipbuilders, we will all lose our jobs," the spokesman said.

However, the union is refusing to talk with management about how it can help save

the company, he said.

"While the company is struggling to cope with worsening business conditions, unionized

workers even demanded a pay raise. This is just nonsense. Management and the union

should join hands together to overcome the current hardship," the spokesman said.

Beginning on May 1, management will cut overtime on weekdays and weekend work,

in order to save labor costs. Workers will also be encouraged to use all of their

annual leave.

However, the union wants workers' salaries to be raised by an average of 6 percent this

year, while seeking to expand paid vacation and becoming involved in management. T

hey are also asking for a 250 percent incentive bonus, the abolition of the peak wage

system, the extension of paid vacation and immediate overseas training for 100 o

f its members.

Union leaders have been staging a rally in Seoul, Ulsan and elsewhere to protest the

management-initiated restructuring. They argued management should take full

responsibility for the firm's trouble, saying that the union will not make any sacrifices.

HHI lost a total of 4.79 trillion won ($4.17 billion) over the past two years. But in the first

quarter, the company managed to swing to profit largely on the back of wage cuts

and other painstaking cost-saving measures.

Sales dropped 16 percent to 10.27 trillion won, but the shipbuilder posted a 325.2 billion

won operating profit, a rebound from 192.4 billion won loss a year earlier. 매출은,₩10조

2,700억으로 16% 감소했지만, /영업이익은 ₩3,252억원을 기록했고./ 전년대비 ₩1,924억

社長으로 昇進과 동시에 /新任 안전경영실장에 김환구 부사장

조선업 계열사 전체 임원 중 25%인 60여 명을 감축하고 신설된 안전경영실장을

사장급으로 격상해 임명하는 등 상반기 임원인사를 28일 단행했다.

현대중공업은 이번 인사로 박승용 상무 등 7명이 전무, 김형관 상무보 등 11명이

상무로 각각 승진했다.

이와 함께 최근 잇단 산재사망 사고로 안전관리에 허술함이 드러났던 만큼

현대중공업은 이번 인사를 통해 조직 개편도 단행했다.

기존 경영지원본부 소속 안전환경부문을 안전 경영실로 개편하고, 책임자를

사장급으로 진급시키는 한편, 新任 안전경영실장에 김환구 부사장을 임명했다.

특히 이번 임원 인사에서 신규 선임된 임원은 없다.

이와 관련, 현대중공업 관계자는 “최근 잇단 중대재해 발생에 대해 깊은 책임감을

느끼고, 안전을 경영의 최우선으로 한다는 방침 아래 안전담당을 사장급으로

격상했다”며 “신임 김환구 사장은 회사 전체의 안전에 관한 모든 권한과 책임을 갖고,

안전 업무를 최우선으로 강력하게 추진해 나갈 것”이라고 말했다.

현재 현대중공업에서는 사장단은 급여 전액을, 任員陣은 50%의 급여를 반납하고

있으며, 오는 5월 1일부터 휴일 연장근로와 고정 연장근로를 폐지하는 등 전사적인

노력을 기울이고 있다. 아울러 현대중공업은 계약직 직원과 非 노조원 생산직 직원

등을 중심으로 3000여명 감축할 계획이다.
