Gyeonggi-do Invests 350 Million KRW to Improve Treatment of Non-Regular Workers and More

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province will invest a total of 350 million won this year to promote the 'Support Project for Non-regular Workers' in collaboration with four private organizations in the labor sector within the province.

This project is part of the realization of the Gyeonggi Province administration's 7th public election pledge, "Gyeonggi where labor is respected," aiming to guarantee labor rights such as employment stability and improved treatment for non-regular workers in the province by utilizing the capabilities of specialized private organizations.

To this end, the province selected the following organizations as project executors through a public contest held in March: ▲ Siwha Labor Policy Research Institute ▲ Suwon City Non-regular Workers Welfare Center ▲ Ansan City Non-regular Workers Support Center ▲ Paju Non-regular Workers Support Center.

Through this project, the province will conduct a survey on the actual conditions of non-regular special employment workers, support the conversion of non-regular workers to regular positions at public and private universities in the province, and support non-regular workers' clubs by region.

First, the province plans to conduct interviews and surveys on labor environment, labor management, and labor rights conditions for five types of special employment workers, including substitute drivers and delivery workers, and based on this, propose policies to improve the treatment of special employment workers.

In addition, the province will develop a reasonable "model for converting non-regular workers to regular positions" considering the characteristics of each university in the province and provide consulting support to universities for the conversion of non-regular workers to regular positions.

Furthermore, the province will support club activities of non-regular workers by dividing them into three regions: Southeast, Southwest, and Northern regions, to promote cultural and artistic activities and strengthen solidarity. Recruitment for supported clubs is scheduled for May.

Ryu Gwang-yeol, Director of the Provincial Labor Bureau, said, "We will lay the foundation for guaranteeing labor rights for non-regular workers through close cooperation with private organizations," adding, "In particular, based on surveys of special employment workers and university non-regular workers, we plan to discover and implement various support policy projects for non-regular workers."
