[Asia Economy Reporter Onyu Lim] The Seoul Metropolitan Government is taking joint action with apartment complexes in Seoul to ensure long-term employment stability and improve working conditions for security workers and other residential complex management workers.

On the 28th, Mayor Oh Se-hoon will sign a 'Win-Win Agreement for Employment Stability and Working Condition Improvement of Residential Complex Management Workers' with representatives of over 40 apartment complexes at Hwagok Prugio Apartments in Hwagok-dong, Gangseo-gu.

This win-win agreement is a declaration that residential complexes (resident representative meetings) and the Seoul Metropolitan Government will jointly strive to stabilize the employment of residential complex management workers.

According to the agreement, Seoul and the residential complexes will cooperate in five major areas: ① Establishing long-term employment through employment stability and working condition improvements for residential complex management workers ② Prohibiting unfair instructions and orders unrelated to work ③ Forming a win-win community culture based on trust and consideration between residential complex management workers and residents ④ Installing rest areas and guaranteeing break times ⑤ Establishing policies to resolve employment insecurity, improve working conditions, and enhance welfare.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government emphasized that resolving employment insecurity must come first to prevent human rights violations such as power harassment against security workers and to protect their rights.

Mayor Oh also proposed matters related to employment stability and the inducement of long-term labor contracts for residential complex management workers at the Cabinet meeting on the 25th.

Mayor Oh stated, “Considering the purpose of the government's Job Stability Fund, it is reasonable to exclude workplaces that unreasonably shorten labor contract periods from support,” adding, “If the labor contract period for residential complex management workers is less than one year, they should be excluded from the government's ‘Job Stability Fund’ support to ensure the establishment of long-term labor contracts.”

Mayor Oh said, “With today's agreement as an opportunity, the Seoul Metropolitan Government will take the lead to establish a culture of coexistence and consideration between residents and residential complex management workers,” and added, “I hope residents will take an interest and participate in the employment stability and environmental improvement of residential complex management workers.”
