The labor, management, and government sectors in the Gwangju region (Gwangju Employers Federation, Korean Confederation of Trade Unions Gwangju Regional Headquarters, Gwangju Metropolitan City, and Gwangju Regional Employment and Labor Office) adopted a labor-management coexistence agreement.

According to the Gwangju Employers Federation (Chairman Yang Jin-seok, Chairman of Howon Co., Ltd. and Happiness CC) on the 12th, 100 labor-management-government officials held the "Gwangju Region Labor-Management-Government One-Heart Resolution Rally" at 2 p.m. at the entrance of Jeungsimsa Temple in Mudeungsan National Park.

At the resolution rally, they agreed to unite their efforts to continue the spirit of the Gwangju-type job model by creating quality jobs, establishing safe workplaces, resolving unreasonable labor-management practices, improving the dual structure of the labor market, and enhancing working conditions.

The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions Gwangju Regional Headquarters pledged to build cooperative labor-management relations to improve workers' safety and rights and to strive for the development of labor-management relations. The Gwangju Employers Federation committed to strengthening corporate competitiveness through a rational wage system and appropriate working hours and to establishing a voluntary prevention system to prevent industrial accidents.

Gwangju Metropolitan City and the Gwangju Regional Employment and Labor Office vowed to enforce laws fairly and to seek administrative and financial support measures to create a mutually beneficial labor environment.

They pledged to cooperate by dividing their respective roles to foster a mutually beneficial industrial ecosystem.

Yoon Jong-hae, Chairman of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions Gwangju Regional Headquarters; Yang Jin-seok, Chairman of the Gwangju Employers Federation; Kang Ki-jung, Mayor of Gwangju; and Yang Jeong-yeol, Director of the Gwangju Regional Employment and Labor Office, jointly stated, "We agreed to cooperate to ensure that this labor-management-government coexistence agreement leads to concrete actions, creating more safe and good workplaces that can give hope to local youth."

Meanwhile, after the resolution rally, more than 100 labor-management-government officials also participated in a "plogging" event, walking through the Jeungsimsa area of Mudeungsan to pick up trash in order to protect the Mudeungsan environment.
