The main contents of the collective agreement include ▲ guaranteeing a one-hour lunch break for union members ▲ implementing remote duty at the public health center and agricultural technology center ▲ abolishing standby time for duty officers at town and township offices ▲ improving the operation system of civil complaint guidance calls, consisting of a total of 11 chapters and 106 articles in the main text, and 6 articles in the supplementary provisions.

Kim Dong-seok, head of the Korean Government Employees' Union Hapcheon-gun branch, expressed, “We thank the institution for their support leading up to the signing ceremony, and the improvement of working conditions such as enhanced employee welfare guaranteed by the agreement will directly contribute to improving the quality of public services and serve as a foundation for regional development.”

County Governor Moon Jun-hee stated, “With a spirit of mutual coexistence, both the institution and the union took a step back to reach this agreement without major difficulties. We will responsibly implement the provisions of the agreement and work together to create a model advanced labor-management culture.”
