The Namyangju City Hall Public Officials Labor Union (headed by Jeong Jimae) stated on the 14th, “Four years ago, we held a rally and fought for our right to livelihood at the Namyangju City Hall square, but after Joo Gwangdeok was elected, we have experienced tangible improvements in our working conditions and a change in communication. Supporting Joo, who has proven the value of labor through action rather than words, is the obvious choice.”

The union particularly cited Joo’s field-oriented administration as the reason for their support. The union emphasized, “Joo is a practitioner who knows how to translate the voices at the worksite into policy. We will go beyond simple support and stand by him to the end to create a Namyangju where labor is respected.”

Upon hearing the declaration of support, Joo Gwangdeok also expressed his gratitude: “Receiving the backing of the labor union here in this square, once filled with the voices of protest, is more valuable than any campaign promise. I will ensure that the value of labor shines in Namyangju, and, by following the voices from the field, I am committed to building a greater future for Namyangju together with its citizens.”

Meanwhile, the ongoing relay of declarations of support is seen as evidence that, despite pressure from the party headquarters, Joo continues to secure solid backing from both citizens and the labor community.
