Gyeonggi Human Rights Center Secures 'Right to Rest' for Public Officials at Business Sites

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Public officials working at Gyeonggi Province government offices will now have their right to rest guaranteed.

The Gyeonggi Human Rights Center announced on the 24th that it received a complaint that public officials working at Office A were having their right to rest violated due to inconvenient break rooms. After facilitating meetings between the office and the public officials, the center arranged for the removal of the partition wall between the men's and women's break rooms, thereby expanding the men's break room. Additionally, a separate women's break room was established, along with a space where male employees working on weekends can change clothes.

In particular, the microwave oven in the break room was immediately replaced, and the refrigerator with reduced functionality is planned to be replaced with next year's budget.

The Human Rights Center explained that the inconvenience regarding the use of the break room by public officials was resolved through mutual consultation between the complainants and Office A.

The head of Office A stated, "Thanks to the mediation and reconciliation proposal by the Gyeonggi Human Rights Center, we were able to resolve the issue amicably," and promised, "We will continue to actively improve by paying attention to the rights and grievances of our affiliated employees."

The Human Rights Center conducts human rights counseling, investigations, and relief work for human rights violations and discriminatory acts occurring in the province and its subordinate administrative agencies, public institutions, entrusted agencies, and social welfare facilities supported by the province.
