Takeda staffers accuse drugmaker of favoring Shire employees during merger: report

During a merger, one might suspect a buyer could favor its old employees over the newcomers. But that’s not what's happened at Takeda Korea as it folds in Shire, according to a labor union.

Since former Shire Korea CEO Moon Hee-seok took on the Takeda Korea CEO role, the reorganization process “has been in favor of Shire employees only,” Takeda Korea’s labor union said, according to Korea Biomedical Review.
