Gyeonggi-do Promotes Human Rights Protection and Awareness Improvement for Multi-family Housing Management Workers

Gyeonggi Province will launch a project to protect the human rights of apartment workers and improve awareness starting in April.

On the 27th, Gyeonggi Province announced that it will invest a total of 8,000,000 KRW in two projects: an awareness improvement campaign to spread the culture of Good Apartments and the operation of an apartment site monitoring team, aimed at protecting the human rights of multi-family housing management workers and establishing a foundation for employment stability.

The awareness improvement project to spread the culture of Good Apartments is a project initiated by Gyeonggi Province this year, conducting a lifestyle-oriented awareness campaign targeting city and county governments and apartment complexes. A Good Apartment refers to a cooperative complex that protects the employment stability (labor contracts of one year or more) and labor rights of multi-family housing management workers and fosters mutual respect and coexistence with residents.

Worker Rights Protection Campaign

Gyeonggi Province will produce a promotional video for the awareness campaign and conduct comprehensive publicity using various media such as G Bus, media boards within apartments, and the province’s official YouTube channel.

Additionally, the province plans to hold an ‘Apartment Workers’ Win-Win Cooperation Joint Declaration Ceremony’ to sign cooperation agreements with local labor centers and multi-family housing labor organizations, focusing on eradicating ultra-short-term contracts and protecting workers’ human rights.

The apartment site monitoring team operation project involves forming a monitoring team targeting multi-family housing management workers to prevent and protect against abuse of power and labor rights violations. It will conduct surveys, provide counseling on rights violations and remedies, and offer legal education for multi-family housing management workers.

Jo Sang-gi, Director of Labor Rights and Interests at Gyeonggi Province, stated, “We will comprehensively promote a lifestyle-oriented awareness campaign to spread the culture of Good Apartments. We will actively discover cooperative complexes within the province that protect the employment stability and labor rights of multi-family housing management workers and foster mutual respect with residents.”

Since 2021, Gyeonggi Province has been implementing the ‘Apartment Workers’ Human Rights Protection Support Project’ to establish a support system for protecting the human rights and employment stability of apartment workers. Last year, it provided 135 labor rights consultations and conducted 37 worker education sessions.
