Korean hospital workers win a five-day week: The nation’s unionized hospital workers Tuesday agreed to end their strike after all-night negotiations with the management on key issues, including a five-day workweek. The labor and the management agreed to the imposition of a revised five-day workweek, under a system that sees unionized workers alternating shifts so that each Saturday sees 50 percent of them working. The agreement came early in the morning after union members decided to accept the management's final proposal. Management officials had walked out of the negotiations, saying the talks had broken down again. An estimated 15,000 nurses and hospital administrative workers from over 100 hospitals nationwide stayed on strike for the 13th straight day since June 10. Meanwhile, the five-day work week remains under assault throughout the United States.
