[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Hyun-ji] Kwon Seong-dong, Acting Party Leader and Floor Leader of the People Power Party, evaluated on the 24th that “the Yoon Seok-yeol administration's firm stance toward law and principles has put a brake on the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions' extreme struggle” in relation to the end of the Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering subcontractor strike through negotiation settlement.

On the same day, Kwon said through his Facebook, “The Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering strike was dramatically resolved after 51 days. The urgent fire has been put out. The Yoon Seok-yeol administration stated that it has set an important precedent by resolving labor disputes according to law and principles.”

He added, “Above all, it is fortunate that the shipyard can resume operations,” and “When the energy of confrontation is turned back into the energy of production, both labor and management can win-win.”

Kwon emphasized the illegality of the Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering subcontractor labor union strike. He wrote, “The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions showed irresponsibility by carrying out the strike at the start of the shipbuilding industry's boom period. To offset this irresponsibility, they insisted on an extreme form of struggle involving wills and shin-na (a type of ritual). Above all, illegal acts will result in stern punishment.”

He continued, “The severity of the rule of law must apply to everyone. Illegality must end, and legality must be protected. When these principles are upheld, fairness and common sense can be restored.”
