On the 14th, Mayor Yuk Donghan signed the 2025 wage agreement with the Chuncheon branch of the National Local Government Public Officials Union (headed by Park Hoonjoo) in the city hall reception room.

The main points of the agreement include: an increase in the base salary and seniority allowance rate for general public officials; a 3.0% increase in the base salary for sanitation workers; the establishment of a new team leader allowance for sanitation workers; and the expansion of eligibility for the civil complaint allowance.

Both labor and management held seven rounds of negotiations since July and finally reached an agreement on the wage contract containing these provisions.

The agreement will be applied to all public officials, including non-union members, and the retroactive portion for 2025 will be paid by November. For general public officials, the 1.7% increase in base salary and the higher seniority allowance rate will effectively result in a 3.15% increase in base salary.

Yuk Donghan, Mayor of Chuncheon, stated, "I hope this wage increase will boost employee morale and help create a stable working environment."
