Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) will file a suit for damages of about 50 billion won against the subcontractor branch of the Korean Federation of Trade Unions (KCTU), which illegally occupied Okpo Shipyard in Geoje of South Gyeongsang Province for 51 days.
The company reported the damage suit plan at a board meeting held on Aug. 19.
Industry insiders believe that the possibility of the company receiving compensation from the subcontractor union is not high, but the management made the decision to convey a strong message that an illegal occupation of a dock at the shipyard will not be tolerated anymore.
