On the 18th, Chairman Kim attended a press conference held by opposition party co-representatives on Articles 2 and 3 of the Trade Union Act (Yellow Envelope Act) at the National Assembly Communication Office in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, stating, "If our country wants to demonstrate its status in the international community, the Trade Union Act Articles 2 and 3, which were frustrated in the previous National Assembly, must be prioritized and implemented."

On that day, Chairman Kim pointed out, "At the recent International Labour Organization (ILO) General Assembly, our country became the chair nation for the first time in 21 years. Although the government is self-congratulatory, the reality of our country is completely different from its international status."

He added, "We must pass Articles 2 and 3 of the Trade Union Act, which were frustrated in the previous National Assembly, and use this as a stepping stone to reform legal systems so that the three labor rights can be fully rooted in all workplaces across society."
