Regarding the follow-up actions to the strike of the labor union strike of subcontractors of Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, the presidential office said, “It will continue in accordance with the law and in principle.”
A presidential office official said at a briefing at the Yongsan government building this followingnoon, “not to mention criminal responsibility.”
In addition, to the question of ‘there is some criticism that the ministers emphasized the law and principles and said that they would strictly enforce illegal acts immediately following the conclusion of the labor-management negotiations’, he answered, “I emphasized the principles once once more.”
Another official from the presidential office explained, “In the process of explaining the agreement, the union briefed that there was still work to be done for damages and is pending.”
He also said, “Daewoo Shipbuilding & Shipbuilding and the prime contractor suffered huge losses because they were unable to operate their workplaces for 50 days by the subcontractor union,” he said.
“It can be said that the ministers have made it clear that such suspicions are being raised even though the Yun Seok-yeol administration has not retreated from its principles at all,” he said.
On the other hand, regarding the report that Mr. Woo, a 9th-level administrative agent in the presidential office, who was controversial regarding ‘private hiring’, not only worked as an auditor for his father’s company, but also held a stake in the company, “I don’t know why,” he said, “There was a problem in the hiring process. Or if there is any personal mischief by Mr. Woo, please point it out.”
