[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] On the morning of the 14th, Deputy Prime Minister of Education Yoo Eun-hye visited Sogang University located in Mapo-gu to check the preparations for face-to-face classes in the first semester and the COVID-19 quarantine situation.

Deputy Prime Minister Yoo Eun-hye held a meeting with Yoo Dong-gyun, Mayor of Mapo-gu, Shim Jong-hyuk, President of Sogang University, and others to discuss mutual cooperation between local governments and universities in the quarantine system and measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infections.

Yongsan-gu (Mayor Seong Jang-hyun) held a 'Public Officials Labor-Management Collective Agreement Signing Ceremony' on the 10th at the district office's large conference room.

The event lasted 30 minutes, proceeding in the order of introduction of negotiation committee members, progress report, greetings from representatives of the institution and union chief negotiators, signing of the collective agreement, and commemorative photo. Twenty negotiators, including Mayor Seong Jang-hyun and Gong Hyun-ju, Head of the Yongsan-gu Branch of the Seoul Regional Headquarters of the National Public Officials Labor Union, attended.

The collective agreement serves as a contract and norm among the institution, union, and union members, containing contents such as 'guarantee of union activities,' 'improvement of working conditions and personnel systems,' 'welfare,' and 'public service reform and prevention of corruption,' totaling 144 articles including the preamble, main text, and supplementary provisions.

Branch Chief Gong Hyun-ju said, "I thank the negotiators who smoothly led the second collective bargaining," and added, "The branch will continuously strive to monitor the implementation of the agreed terms while improving the welfare and rights of union members."

The Yongsan-gu branch, which obtained legal union status in 2018, signed its first collective agreement with the district in 2019. Ahead of the expiration of the agreement period, it requested collective bargaining with the district in September 2021 and continued main and working-level negotiations for four months.

Mayor Seong Jang-hyun said, "This agreement reflects the more advanced demands of the employees," and added, "Let us faithfully implement the agreement contents and work together as labor and management to improve the quality of life for employees and residents."
