"Park Byung-gyu Erased Union Chairman Experience from Portal... Ignoring Labor Rights" View original image


[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Oh Byung-ho, head of the Labor Headquarters of Park Si-jong's camp, and former and current labor union representatives of Gwangsan District visited the election office of Choi Chi-hyun, the preliminary candidate for Gwangsan District Mayor, on the 27th to declare their support.


On that day, Head Oh stated the reason for his support declaration, saying, "Candidate Choi has supported the resolution of issues related to Ssangyong Motor, Fine Tech, and Colt Colt Tech at the Blue House, and has worked to improve the rights and treatment of workers."


Furthermore, he attracted attention by revealing the reason why former and current labor union representatives of Gwangsan District did not support candidate Park Byung-gyu, who is a former chairman of the Kia Motors Union.


Head Oh said, "Candidate Park has consistently used his experience as Deputy Mayor of Gwangju City for Economic Affairs, but I confirmed that he has no labor union experience on his well-known internet portal profile. It seems he wants to erase his worker experience," adding, "We cannot support a candidate who hides his worker and labor union experience and whose contributions to workers are hard to find."



Candidate Choi expressed gratitude, saying, "I have lived for a world where labor is respected, and I will continue to stand as a friend of workers," and "I will do my best together with workers and labor unions for the development of Gwangsan District."
