Striking S. Korea shipyard workers resume talks, but lawsuits threat remains an obstacle

The construction of eight vessels at five docks at the shipyard has been affected, with delivery dates pushed back by two to five weeks. - Bloomberg

SEOUL (Reuters): Talks between shipyard contract workers and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) resumed on Friday to resolve a strike that has hurt South Korea's third-largest shipbuilder and led to delays in delivery of vessels.

About 100 workers from subcontractors have, since late last month, occupied the main dock at DSME's shipyard in the southern coast city of Geoje, demanding a 30% pay increase.
