[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] The Pohang branch of the National Public Officials Labor Union has become the first labor union nationwide to start a selectable childbirth supplies support project for pregnant union members.


According to Pohang City on the 1st, the Pohang branch of the National Public Officials Labor Union signed a business agreement with Baby News, a childcare newspaper that carries out various projects in the fields of pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare, on the 26th.


This project allows pregnant women to directly access an integrated shopping mall and use the points given to them to choose their preferred childbirth souvenirs from over 5,000 types of childbirth supplies, childcare products, and daily necessities, rather than receiving uniform childbirth supplies, which has received great response from pregnant women.


Additionally, the Pohang branch of the National Public Officials Labor Union is leading the creation of a workplace atmosphere that considers pregnant women among employees by distributing pregnant women notification nameplates and notification boards for pregnant public officials, informing clients that the staff in charge is pregnant to encourage restraint from verbal abuse and the like.



Branch Chief Lim Sang-hyun stated, "We will create an environment that considers pregnant union members so that family and work can coexist, making a workplace that is good for giving birth to and raising children," and added, "We plan to expand the support project in consultation with Pohang City in the future."
