Gyeongnam Province Selected as Excellent Local Government for 'Labor-Management-Government-Civil Cooperation Activation' for 3 Consecutive Years

Ministry of Employment and Labor Wins Grand Prize in '2021 Regional Labor-Management-Government Cooperation Activation Support Project Evaluation'

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 15th that it has been selected as an excellent local government for three consecutive years in the '2021 Regional Labor-Management-Government Cooperation Activation Support Project Evaluation' hosted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor.

The Labor-Management-Government Cooperation Activation Evaluation is a system in which the Ministry of Employment and Labor annually discovers and awards exemplary metropolitan and basic local governments nationwide that have achieved outstanding results in activating regional labor-management-government cooperation.

The evaluation was conducted targeting 17 metropolitan local governments and 48 basic local governments, and through the first document screening and the second interview screening, 5 metropolitan local governments (1 grand prize, 2 excellence awards, 2 merit awards) and 10 basic local governments (1 grand prize, 2 excellence awards, 7 merit awards) were selected as excellent local governments.

Gyeongnam Province received the excellence award as a representative case of labor-management-government cooperation, with the 'Regional Labor-Management-Government Win-Win Cooperation Joint Declaration' in which both major labor unions (Minju and Hanguk) participated for the first time among metropolitan local governments.

This is significant in that the labor-management-government parties shared awareness to overcome the economic crisis caused by COVID-19 and maintain employment, and the local government and workers made a joint declaration for win-win cooperation to seek ways to activate cooperation.

In addition, in October last year, the 'Miryang Win-Win Type Regional Job Project' was selected as the nation's first win-win type regional job model centered on a cooperative formed by small and medium-sized enterprises, and was recognized as an excellent case of labor-management-government cooperation.

Kim Jae-won, Director of the Labor Policy Division of the province, said, "Labor-management-government win-win cooperation is more important than anything else to overcome the COVID-19 crisis situation," and added, "We will continue to make efforts to activate labor-management-government cooperation in the future."
