[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Dong-joo] On the 15th, Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, visited the Korean Federation of Trade Unions in Yeouido, Seoul, and held a meeting with Chairman Kim Dong-myeong.


During the meeting, they discussed issues such as the minimum wage system, the 52-hour workweek, the recent major labor issue of applying the Labor Standards Act to workplaces with fewer than five employees, the public sector labor director system, and the exemption system for union full-time workers' working hours (time-off system).



Candidate Yoon has previously claimed that the "52-hour workweek and minimum wage are unrealistic," and stated that "the Serious Accident Punishment Act sends a strong message that greatly discourages business owners' willingness to manage," revealing an anti-labor and pro-business labor perspective.
