SEOUL, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Hyundai Motor's (005380.KS) unionised workers in South Korea on Friday vote on whether to hold a strike after two months of talks with the company over wage increase and extension of the retirement age stalled last week. If the union stages a strike, it would mark the first such action in five years related to wage negotiations at the South Korean carmaker, and could disrupt delivery of some popular vehicles which Hyundai has been struggling to ramp up due to prolonged component shortages. The voting result is expected at around 6 p.m. (0900 GMT), a union official at Hyundai Motor told Reuters, adding that the union will continue working-level negotiations with the management regardless of the vote. "South Korea has relatively low pension replacement rates, compared to other advanced countries in Europe. Unionised workers at Hyundai in South Korea held a four-hour strike for one day in July in support of its umbrella union's general strike, but it was not related to the union's wage negotiations with the management.

Indonesia, producer of more than half of global palm oil supplies, also tightened trade rules this year, allowing exporters to ship just six times their domestic palm oil sales volume, less than a fourth-quarter 2022 ratio of eight times. "Indonesian palm oil export definitely will drop, as output will decline, domestic consumption will increase," Fadhil Hasan, an Indonesian Palm Oil Association (GAPKI) official, told Reuters. Indonesia produced 51.3 million tonnes of palm oil in 2022 and exported 33.7 million tonnes, GAPKI estimated. In 2023, palm oil output is expected at 50.82 million tonnes and exports at 26.42 million tonnes, it said. "But India's strong demand for palm oil will continue as it is still the cheapest edible oil."

Gogoașa despre închiderea școlilorAceastă gogoașă are menirea să devieze atenția de la decizia strategică a Partidului Comuniștilor din Republica Moldova (PCRM), implementată de unul dintre actualii lideri ai Partidului Socialiștilor din Republica Moldova (PSRM) – Zinaida Greceanîi. Aici se ivește întrebarea – de la cine s-au inspirat liderii BECS? Oare nu de la partenerul strategic cărui doresc să-i închine Republica Moldova în cadrul Uniunii Economice Eurasiatice? Prețul plătit pentru acea fotografie a fost foarte mare – promisiunea federalizării Republicii Moldova pentru a dispersa în trei direcții centrul de adoptare a deciziilor și a o face Republica Moldova total dependentă de partenerul strategic . Această stare de fapt trebuie schimbată cât mai curând posibil, altminteri existând riscul ca Republica Moldova să rămână ostatecă gogoșilor propagandistice pentru mult timp înainte.

Consensul național și dezbinarea societății. Op-Ed de Victor Pelin„Cea mai bună soluție pentru depășirea divizării societății și a polarizării clasei politice este reeditarea consensul național, stabilit prin Declarația Parlamentului din 24 martie 2005. Consensul național a avut la bază semnarea la 22 februarie 2005 a Planului de Acțiuni Uniunea Europeană – Republica Moldova (PAUERM). Impactul consensului asupra dezvoltării țării a fost unul major, creând un cadru propice pentru adoptarea programelor de guvernare și a strategiilor de implementare a PAUERM. Cea mai bună soluție pentru depășirea divizării societății și a polarizării clasei politice este reeditarea consensul național, stabilit prin Declarația Parlamentului din 24 martie 2005.
