[Photo] Agreement Ceremony Canceled Due to Absence of Korean Confederation of Trade Unions Chairman

The 'Tripartite Agreement Ceremony for Overcoming the COVID-19 Crisis,' which was scheduled to be held on the 1st at the Prime Minister's Official Residence in Jongno-gu, Seoul, was canceled due to the last-minute absence of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU). The tripartite parties had originally planned to sign an agreement that included strengthening employment retention and introducing nationwide employment insurance on that day. The KCTU held a Central Executive Committee meeting from the morning to discuss whether to sign the agreement but ultimately decided not to participate in the ceremony. The photo shows the empty seat of Kim Myung-hwan, the absent KCTU chairman, on that day. / Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
