'성과급 갈등' 카카오 노사, 오늘 노동위 조정 돌입…'파업 분수령'

Kakao faces its first potential strike as labor negotiations collapse over performance bonus demands (13-15% of operating profit), with the company prioritizing AI R&D investment. The May 18 labor mediation represents a critical turning point—failure could trigger unprecedented industrial action across multiple Kakao subsidiaries. This dispute reflects a broader industry tension between employee compensation demands and corporate AI transformation priorities.
