The Gwangju Labor Rights Center, an integrated organization formed by merging three local labor-related institutions?the Labor Center, the Non-Regular Workers Support Center, and the Youth Labor Center?has been officially launched.

The Gwangju Labor Rights Center announced on the 17th that it has completed remodeling at the Hanam Workers' Welfare Center in Gwangsan-gu and will hold an opening ceremony next month.

Discussions on integration began as the three existing organizations had overlapping labor rights protection and support projects for over a decade, and budget issues were also raised.

The Gwangju Labor Rights Center plans to focus on rights protection projects such as labor counseling, legal support, and research on labor policies.

Additionally, new initiatives such as operating an industrial accident reporting center will be pursued.

Jung Chanseo, head of the Gwangju Labor Rights Center, said, "We will strive to provide practical help to non-regular workers and working citizens," adding, "We will work to make the center a hub for Gwangju's labor policies and labor rights."
