    South Korea’s conservative ruling party, the People Power Party (PPP), is pushing for legislation that would give the semiconductor industry subsidies and an exemption from a national cap on working hours.

    Yes, that’s what South Korea needs… longer working hours…

      The nation introduced a labor policy in 2018 that capped maximum work hours to 52 – 40 hours of regular time and 12 hours of overtime.

      To be honest, I would be surprised if this rule was actually followed. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could comment.
