Regarding the working hour system reform plan announced by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, the Democratic Party of Korea urged, “The Yoon Seok-yeol government should not hide behind the name of social dialogue and should give up the working hour system reform for the well-being of the people and workers.”
Representative Yoon Young-deok said in a written briefing, “We warn that the Yoon Seok-yeol government’s attempt to extend the 52-hour workweek to a 69-hour workweek will lead to national resistance again.”
Spokesperson Yoon said, “The 52-hour workweek system was selected as the policy with the highest sympathy among the Moon Jae-in administration’s labor policies,” and added, “It gave the people back a ‘life with dinner,’ but is the Yoon Seok-yeol administration trying to take it away again?”
He then asked the Ministry of Employment and Labor, “Do you hesitate to be swayed by President Yoon and neutralize the shortened working hours system loved by the people?” He added, “It is surprising that the only performance of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration’s key national tasks over the past 11 months has been through survey services.” criticized.
The Justice Party also joined.
Spokesperson Lee Jae-rang said in a briefing at the National Assembly, “The government, which was hell-bent on neutralizing the 52-hour workweek, came up with a trick when the public’s resistance prevented it from running rampant,” and added, “We will avoid the public’s glare and somehow come up with a basis for increasing overtime hours.” He fiercely criticized them, saying, “I’m going to make it.”
He added, “The answer is to completely stop the old-fashioned labor reform that aims to squeeze more profits by changing the lives of workers,” and added, “Keep in mind that if you fail to end the illusion of extending working hours, the life of the regime may end.”
