This agreement was reached smoothly through mutual trust between labor and management, following four rounds of wage negotiations that began with an initial meeting on March 6. The purpose of the agreement is to boost morale and improve working conditions for public employees who diligently work in the field.

Through this agreement, both labor and management have adjusted the base salary upward for public employees and implemented additional wage increases for certain job categories to help narrow wage gaps among employees. They also agreed to expand the recognition of military service by including up to three years of mandatory military duty in the calculation of severance pay.

Yang Soo-hyun, mayor of Yangju City, stated, "I am always grateful for the dedication of our public employees who serve the citizens. I am confident that this wage agreement will boost employee morale and lead to qualitative improvements in the administrative services provided to our citizens. Moving forward, I will continue to work with the labor union to build a Yangju that advances together with its citizens."

The head of the Yangju City Public Employee Labor Union responded, "The spirit of our union members, who wish to contribute to the city's development and the welfare of its citizens, is well reflected in this agreement. Our members will also continue to do their best for the citizens in their respective roles."
