On the same day, at the policy coordination meeting held in the morning, Chair Park emphasized that "since both ruling and opposition presidential candidates are united in their voices, there is no reason to delay any further," urging the passage of laws related to the labor director system and the time-off system during the December extraordinary session of the National Assembly.

Chair Park stated, "Candidate Lee Jae-myung has also repeatedly expressed strong support for the introduction of the labor director system and the time-off system," and addressed Candidate Yoon, saying, "I hope this is not a showy remark just to gain votes immediately." He then called for the related laws to be processed in the December extraordinary session.

Chair Park said, "Coincidentally, the Labor and Environment Committee's bill subcommittee is scheduled for today," adding, "The People Power Party should actively cooperate in the standing committee discussions to demonstrate sincerity regarding Candidate Yoon's remarks."

He continued, "The labor director system and the time-off system are government tasks of the Moon Jae-in administration and election pledges of Candidate Lee Jae-myung," and added, "The Democratic Party will make every effort to ensure these are established within the December extraordinary session to create an environment that respects labor and is tangible to workers."
