This Visiting Field Meeting was conducted not as a formal meeting but as an open dialogue, allowing for the mutual exchange of opinions in order to inspect the working conditions of high-risk workers with demanding workloads and to develop practical measures for improving their treatment.


During the meeting, field workers proposed several practical demands to improve their welfare, including the implementation of a wage system that reflects the risk level rather than being based solely on simple labor, the guarantee of continued employment and seniority transfer when contractors are changed, the recruitment of additional personnel and equipment, and the improvement of rest areas.


Myeong emphasized, "Household waste collection and transportation workers perform essential public work and do not shy away from difficult and dangerous tasks," adding, "It is unreasonable that the current wage system treats these high-intensity field workers as 'simple labor.' I am committed to reforming this system."



Myeong also stated, "Thanks to the collection and transportation workers who quietly do their best behind the scenes, citizens are able to live in a clean environment," pledging, "If I am elected mayor of Goyang, I will actively reflect the voices from the field and do my utmost to improve working conditions and ensure safety."
