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.
