[Asia Economy Reporter Ki Ha-young] BC Card announced on the 5th that it held a 'Labor-Management Joint Blood Donation Event' at its headquarters in Euljiro, Jung-gu, Seoul, to commemorate overcoming the COVID-19 crisis and the non-negotiated settlement of this year's wage agreement.

This event was organized through the joint efforts of labor and management to help address the shortage of blood supply amid prolonged social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. BC Card employees voluntarily participated in a total of two sessions (scheduled for the 4th and 11th). The blood donation event was conducted in strict compliance with COVID-19 prevention guidelines, including pre-disinfection of the blood donation bus, maintaining distance between beds, wearing masks by participants, temperature checks, and hand sanitization.

Additionally, BC Card donated a certain amount to medical organizations dedicated to overcoming COVID-19 through a matching grant system, contributing an amount equivalent to the number of employees participating in the blood donation. They also prepared 100 boxes of ramen (Bujadoelram Paybook) to be delivered to hospitals dedicated to COVID-19 treatment.

Kim Kwang-dong, Executive Director and Head of Communications at BC Card, said, “We hope that the warm compassion of BC Card employees will be conveyed even a little through this labor-management joint blood donation event,” and added, “BC Card will continue to actively engage in various social contribution activities, including volunteering with the Red Food Truck to support vulnerable groups.”

Meanwhile, at the end of October, BC Card’s labor and management reached a non-negotiated settlement on this year’s wage agreement for the first time since the company’s founding, uniting to overcome the difficult internal and external business environment caused by COVID-19, and held a signing ceremony. Beyond this joint blood donation event, labor and management plan to actively cooperate in supporting local communities and small business owners in the future.
