[Asia Economy Reporter Kwak Min-jae] Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated, "The party will take the lead in institutional improvements for the installation and enhancement of rest facilities for on-site workers."

On the 3rd, Lee introduced the results of an investigation into the convenience facilities for sanitation workers conducted among local governments and local councils affiliated with the Democratic Party on Facebook.

Lee said, "Those who work hard for our daily lives should be able to rest comfortably and healthily for all of us to be healthy. There were 15 places planning to install convenience facilities such as rest areas and shower facilities, and among 20 places that said they would install such facilities after building new government offices, most said they would improve or expand rest facilities by next year."

In September, Lee had moved the convenience facilities for sanitation workers and management staff from the basement to the ground floor of the Yeouido Central Party Office.

Lee added, "A society that respects labor is not far away. Those who work hard for our daily lives should be able to rest comfortably and healthily for all of us to be healthy. We will carry out what can be done starting from places with responsibility and authority."
