Gwangju City and the Gwangju City Public Officials Labor Union were recognized in this evaluation for their efforts in promoting various labor-management harmony programs such as regular meetings of the Labor-Management Development Council, labor-management cooperation programs to foster bonds among employees, and social contribution activities.

Additionally, the high level of interest from the head of the institution in cooperative labor-management relations and the active activities of the labor union for the development of a healthy labor-management culture were highly evaluated.

Mayor Bang Se-hwan stated, “Taking this award as an opportunity, let us work together in labor and management to provide trusted administration to citizens based on a model and stable labor-management culture.”
