[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] Ryu Ho-jeong, a Justice Party lawmaker embroiled in a wrongful dismissal controversy, has been accused of violating the Labor Standards Act by a civic group.
Hong Jeong-sik, the representative of the civic group Halbindan, announced on the 1st that he submitted a complaint to the Seoul Employment and Labor Office, stating, "If there is no awareness of procedural flaws, one does not qualify as a member of the National Assembly."
Earlier, a Justice Party member claimed on social media (SNS) that "Lawmaker Ryu notified her personal secretary of dismissal only 7 days in advance, failing to comply with the usual notice period for dismissal."
