[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Se-ryeong] The floor leader group of the People Power Party's Gyeongnam Provincial Party expressed regret on the 21st over the prolonged strike by the subcontracted branch of the metalworkers' union at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering.

The delegation stated, "As the situation prolongs, the suffering of the residents intensifies, and on behalf of the 3.4 million residents, we express our regret."

They added, "President Yoon has dispatched the Ministers of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Ministry of Employment and Labor to the site to find a clue for resolution," and "Governor Park Wan-su has also visited the site and is attempting various discussions at the Gyeongnam provincial level."

They said, "The floor leader group is currently closely sharing information with the provincial executive branch and is closely monitoring the situation," and "especially, three provincial assembly members from the Geoje area are stationed locally and have secured channels through various routes."

They continued, "According to the provincial assembly members from the Geoje area, among the subcontracted branch's demands, issues related to treatment have approached the level of labor-management agreement, but there are disagreements regarding union full-time staff and securing union offices," and reported that there are difficulties in reaching a comprehensive agreement.

The delegation stated, "The Gyeongnam Provincial Assembly, representing 3.4 million residents, is taking this issue very seriously, and the People Power Party floor leader group is doing its best to prevent the residents' suffering from worsening," adding, "We will wait together with the residents for this situation to be resolved amicably soon and will make further efforts for the stabilization of people's livelihoods."
