Gwangju Global Motors (GGM) has appealed to its executives and employees to comply with the Labor-Management Win-Win Development Agreement, stating that the strike by the GGM branch of the Korean Metal Workers' Union could lead to job insecurity and production disruptions.

On the 15th, GGM posted a message titled "A Letter to All Executives and Employees" on its internal bulletin board, stating, "At this crucial time when we are beginning full-scale exports to 64 countries overseas this year, we are deeply disappointed that some individuals are acting in violation of the Labor-Management Win-Win Development Agreement, which is the foundation of our company's establishment."

The management stated, "GGM is a win-win company that was established with great difficulty based on the signing of the Labor-Management Win-Win Development Agreement after many twists and turns. If this agreement is not upheld, the company's sustainability and job security cannot be guaranteed. The actions of some individuals refusing to abide by this agreement ultimately put their own jobs at risk. This will collapse the tower of cooperation we have built so far, eventually leading to job insecurity and causing production disruptions for our partner companies, which will negatively impact industrial development in the Gwangju region."

The company added, "We will continue to do our best to ensure compliance with the Labor-Management Win-Win Development Agreement, and since all executives and employees pledged to abide by this agreement upon joining, we believe they will protect the spirit of cooperation. We clearly state that employees participating in industrial action will be subject to the 'no work, no pay' principle in accordance with labor law, and if any illegal situations arise, the individuals involved will be held fully responsible both civilly and criminally."

Furthermore, the company requested, "In order to overcome the current difficulties and develop into a progressive company, we need the firm will of all executives and employees for cooperative coexistence. We ask everyone to join forces to protect our jobs, which not only support us but also the livelihoods of our families."
