Busan City was selected as an "Excellent Administrative Agency for Labor-Management Culture among Public Officials in 2023" and received the Prime Minister's Agency Commendation.

This award recognizes the efforts of Busan City and the labor union as partners in city administration, including the activation of labor-management communication, promotion of labor-management cooperation projects, and operation of various programs such as social contribution activities.

To facilitate labor-management communication, the city and the union are doing their best to resolve generational conflicts in advance by holding regular meetings such as the labor-management council, continuing hope talks with MZ public officials, and operating an open counseling office within the workplace.

Additionally, they are striving to create a desirable workplace culture through close communication, including establishing the ‘Sexual Misconduct Eradication Task Force’ directly under the Deputy Mayor for Administration.

Furthermore, labor and management are actively promoting social contribution activities for citizens together, including direct management of the cafeteria, support for pregnant and childbirth employees, annual sponsorship of youth independence support funds from employees’ leftover salaries, rice donations to vulnerable groups, year-end visits to military personnel, special donations to natural disaster areas, and signing hometown love donation agreements, as well as employee welfare.

In the individual category, Kim Eun-kyung, Welfare Team Leader for Public Officials, received the Prime Minister’s Commendation for her contribution to building a sound labor-management culture and protecting employee rights, and three public officials, including Yoon Jong-moon, Vice Chairman of the Labor Union, received Ministerial Commendations.

Lee Soo-il, Director of the Administrative Autonomy Bureau, said, “We will continue to make steady efforts to establish a sound and exemplary labor-management culture so that a healthy labor-management relationship takes root within the public service community and the public officials’ labor union and the institution can move beyond conflict and confrontation to become partners of coexistence and cooperation.”
