Gwangju Chamber of Commerce: "Gwangju-type Job Model Must Be Promoted Without Delay"
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] The Gwangju Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Chairman Jeong Chang-seon) announced a statement on the 21st urging all parties involved in the project to ensure the successful establishment of the Gwangju-type job, an innovative labor-management coexistence job, reflecting the hopes of local businesspeople.
The Gwangju Chamber of Commerce stated, "On the 2nd, the local labor sector declared the termination of the Gwangju-type job agreement, putting the establishment project of Gwangju Global Motors Co., Ltd., a labor-management coexistence job creation model, at risk of collapse. The Gwangju-type job is a new investment model capable of overcoming the current crisis and has received nationwide praise and expectations. Therefore, it is an era-defining task that cannot be halted by unilateral demands from either side."
They added, "Since the Gwangju-type job project could start only because it was formally approved by the Labor-Management-Government-Civil Council, we urge the local labor sector to promptly return to the project in accordance with the spirit of the original labor-management coexistence development agreement and to resolve all future issues through dialogue within the council."
Furthermore, they said, "GGM Co., Ltd. should further strengthen communication and cooperation with the local labor sector and community and proceed with the investment as originally planned without wavering under any circumstances to establish the Gwangju-type job as a successful model." They also requested, "The local political circles and community should actively mediate and fully support the smooth progress of the Gwangju-type job project so that it can become a cornerstone for regional economic development."

They continued, "Gwangju Metropolitan City and Hyundai Motor Company, the major shareholders of GGM Co., Ltd., should communicate more broadly to restore mutual trust among the members of the Labor-Management-Government-Civil Council and do their best to ensure the stable promotion of the Gwangju-type job project." They reiterated, "The project stakeholders should keep in mind that Gwangju Global Motors is a manufacturer that must survive intense global competition, trust each other, make concessions, and complete this era-defining mission without further discord."
