According to Hanam City on the 4th, the meeting was attended by Mayor Lee Hyun-jae, Jung Hyun-dol, Chairman of the Hanam City Environmental Public Workers' Union, about 80 environmental public officers, and related city officials. The environmental public officers shared the difficulties they face in the field and presented various suggestions for improving their working environment.

Mayor Lee Hyun-jae said, “Thanks to the dedication of the environmental public officers during the Lunar New Year holiday period for the convenience of citizens, cleaning administration such as household waste collection was carried out smoothly. I deeply appreciate all of you who quietly fulfill your duties even in the cold winter weather.”

At the meeting, the environmental public officers proposed improvements needed for their working environment, such as replacing cleaning vehicles and remodeling rest facilities. Mayor Lee and the attendees sympathized with these points and exchanged various opinions.

Mayor Lee Hyun-jae stated, “I will actively support continuous communication with the environmental public officers who work hard on the front lines to make Hanam City clean, so that we can create a better working environment.”

Meanwhile, the Hanam City Environmental Public Workers' Union was established in 1995, and to improve the negative perception of cleaning labor, the 'Hanam City Public Worker Management Regulations' were revised in October 2024 to officially change the title of sanitation workers to ‘environmental public officers.’
