Yeonggwang-gun, Remicon Conflict Negotiation Settled... Normal Operation from 17th

[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Jeollanam-do Yeonggwang-gun (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 17th that the concrete mixer truck conflict in the county was dramatically resolved through negotiations after about 90 days on the 14th.

Jung Gyeongyeon, chairman of the Yeonggwang Area Concrete Mixer Truck Council of the Gwangju-Jeonnam Concrete Mixer Truck Cooperative, and Jung Yangwook, head of the Gwangju-Jeonnam Construction Machinery Branch of the National Construction Workers' Union, signed an agreement on the 14th to normalize concrete mixer truck transportation, pledging to "faithfully fulfill responsibilities and obligations based on trust" regarding reinstatement, transportation rates and fuel costs, working hours, and days off.

The agreement stipulates reinstating 29 concrete mixer truck drivers whose contracts were terminated, setting the transportation rate at 43,000 KRW from that day until August 16 next year, 45,000 KRW from August 17 next year until August 16, 2023, and paying fuel costs at 0.48 liters per kilometer.

Working hours were agreed to be flexibly operated from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during summer and winter, and days off were set as every Sunday and every other Saturday (1st and 3rd weeks).

Additionally, to promote mutual cooperation, both parties agreed to withdraw all civil and criminal lawsuits, complaints, accusations, and petitions raised during the conflict within seven days after signing the agreement to minimize damages.

With the resolution of this concrete mixer truck conflict, concrete mixer manufacturers in the Yeonggwang area will resume normal operations and business from that day.

Governor Kim Junsung said, "I appreciate both the concrete mixer manufacturers and drivers for making a respectful and agreed decision," and added, "I hope they will work hard to normalize concrete mixer transportation to revitalize the local economy."
