[Asia Economy Reporter Jo Gang-wook] The IBK Industrial Bank Labor Union held a large-scale discussion forum with union members on the 13th to discuss the struggle to block the new President Yoon Jong-won's attendance at work.

About 600 people, including union delegates, attended the forum and exchanged opinions for about two hours regarding the struggle to block President Yoon's attendance and future plans.

At the forum, the union shared the situation of blocking President Yoon's attendance after his appointment and discussed future schedules, but it is reported that no clear conclusion was reached. Attendees asked questions about the union leadership's stance on the justification for the struggle to block President Yoon's attendance and future plans, whether there would be delays in employee personnel matters due to the prolonged struggle, and whether dialogue with President Yoon would be pursued.

The union plans to comprehensively review and consider the opinions of union members expressed that day but intends to continue blocking President Yoon's attendance for the time being.

Since President Yoon's first attendance on the 3rd was blocked by the union, he has not been able to come to the headquarters for more than ten days. The union maintains its position of not engaging in dialogue with President Yoon unless the Blue House apologizes for the parachute appointment and promises to prevent recurrence, continuing the struggle to block his attendance.

Because of this, President Yoon is receiving reports on current issues and working "remotely" from a temporary office set up at the Financial Training Institute in Samcheong-dong, Seoul. On the morning of the same day, he also chaired the first management issue review meeting with executives and received reports on management issues.
