Vice Chairman Kim Hak-dong sent an email to all employees on the 4th, urging them to avoid a strike. The email stated, ``The process of wage collective bargaining agreements has not been deeply and sufficiently discussed.
"We are deeply concerned about the rapid pace at which this situation is progressing." Vice Chairman Kim said, ``Posco has about 1,000 customer companies in Japan and about 2,400 overseas.
