[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Lee Ki-young, Manager of the Public Relations and Computer Team, was appointed as the 2nd Labor Director of the Gyeonggi-do Economic Science Promotion Agency on the 3rd.

Labor Director Lee Ki-young joined the agency in August 2007 and has been working in the Public Relations and Computer Team to date.

He served as the chairman of the labor union for four years from 2017, when the agency was integrated and launched, until 2020. He was also the inaugural chairman of the Gyeonggi-do Public Institution Labor Union Federation (Gyeonggongnochong), an organization of public institution workers in the province.

Before appointing the director, the agency conducted an open recruitment for the labor director position on January 10 and held an online vote among executives and employees.

Director Lee Ki-young expressed his ambition, saying, "I will become a labor director who prepares for the future of the agency and creates a new era," adding, "I will especially do my best to gather wisdom between management and workers to achieve social consensus."

The public institution labor director system is a system in which worker representatives participate in the management of public institutions by exercising voting rights on the board of directors.

According to the ordinance on the operation of the labor director system for public institutions in Gyeonggi-do, public corporations, public organizations, and investment/subsidized institutions with 100 or more employees under the province must have one labor director.

Director Lee Ki-young's term lasts until March 2, 2024.
