The Yeongdeungpo Police Station in Seoul announced that it has been conducting a search and seizure at the Construction Union office in Daerim-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul since around 10 a.m. on the 26th.

Two members of the KCTU Construction Union were arrested by the police on charges including obstruction of business and trespassing after climbing an advertising tower near the National Assembly in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, in October. They climbed the advertising tower near Yeoui 2 Bridge (Pacheon Bridge) and demanded the withdrawal of the employer's wage reduction plan, resumption of negotiations, and legislation related to construction workers.

Later, when the employer, the Reinforced Concrete Seokyung Employers' Association, agreed to resume negotiations under the mediation of the Democratic Party's Euljiro Committee, they voluntarily came down from the advertising tower.
