SsangYong Motor reinstates 71 workers, ends decade of labor-management conflict

기사요약: 쌍용자동차 해고자의 60%인 71명이 10년 만에 일터로 돌아왔다

[1] SsangYong Motor, the South Korean unit of Indian carmaker Mahindra & Mahindra, reinstated on Monday 71 employees and hired 34 new workers as a follow up measure of the September agreement ending a decadelong conflict between labor and management.

*reinstate: 복직

*follow up: 후속 조치

* decadelong: 10년 간의

[2] “The decision to reinstate the workers was made to deal with the production of the long-body version of Rexton Sport and succeeding model of Korando C named C300 alongside reduced work hours,” the company said in a statement.

* succeeding model: 후속 기종

[3] In late September, four parties involved -- SsangYong Motor, SsangYong Motor’s labor union, Korean Metal Workers’ Union, and the Economic, Social and Labor Council -- reached a consensus to bring back 60 percent of dismissed workers by the end of 2018, and the remaining workers during the first half of 2019.

* consensus: 의견 일치

* dismissed workers: 해고자

[4] With the latest reinstatement, SsangYong Motor has put an end to its longstanding issue surrounding the assembly workers who left the company after the firm was placed under court receivership in 2009, before Mahindra took over the company.

* longstanding: 오랫동안

* assembly workers: 공장 근로자

* court receivership: 법정 관리

[5] At the time, 900 workers who had joined a strike were given options to either go on unpaid leave or take voluntary redundancy. Those who refused both options were permanently laid off.

* strike: 파업

* unpaid leave: 무급휴직

* voluntary redundancy: 희망퇴직

[6] After years of disputes, which spread into a political debate, the 454 workers who had chosen unpaid leave returned to work as of 2013. The company and the union then agreed to a gradual reinstatement of the workers in 2015 and most recently agreed on the final schedule for the remaining 119 workers who lost their jobs.

* dispute: 분쟁

* gradual: 차차
