The President’s Office announced on the 12th that President Yoon Seok-yeol said in relation to the government’s recent ‘labor reform’, “Is it the government or the state if we allow the illegality that has been entrenched in violence and threats in industrial settings be allowed?” It is a comment that once again emphasized the rule of law between labor and management, identifying inconsistencies in employment and the wage gap between workers.

In a meeting with government officials held at the Sejong Convention Center on the 7th, President Yoon answered questions about labor reform, saying, “I don’t believe the people deserve to receive taxes unless we can normalize industrial sites where there is violence , threats, and blackmail is rampant.” The president’s office said in a press release that day.

President Yoon cited the rule of law as the most important labor reforms. President Yoon said, “A society where wages vary many times even among the same workers is not a normal society.” He also said, “If the government neglects the illegal act of employing the children of union officials in industrial sites and hires the surplus jobs, private operators will not be able to do anything.” It is interpreted that he continued to take steps to secure power for labor reform while criticizing the union, noting irregularities in employment and wage inequality.

President Yoon went on to say, “If we want the people to live better, we must have the courage to regulate and dismantle cartels and rent-seeking activities.”

When asked about his impressions of the results of his overseas trip, President Yoon emphasized economic diplomacy, saying, “After all, a company is an aggregation of national strength.” President Yoon said, “Because Korea has global competitiveness in industries such as semiconductors, shipbuilding, and automobiles, we were able to receive treatment abroad.” Regarding the relationship between public officials and companies, he said, “It is difficult for public officials to adapt to the rapidly changing industrial environment if they stay away from business people.”

Regarding the issue of the drug conflict, he praised the authorities concerned for their hard work and urged the officers in charge, saying, “It is difficult to arrest drug criminals without the spirit of sacrifice because there are more people than gangsters involved in drug distribution. “

When asked how to cook, President Yoon told a story about cooking as a child. President Yoon said, “When I was young, when I fried eggs with a stainless steel frying pan, they would stick together.” . When asked to participate in the ‘Less Salt Competition’ held by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, he replied, “I don’t like salty food, but eating tasty food seems to help my health.”

On this day, the Office of the President produced and released short video content, YouTube Shorts, of the conversation on site.
