Suggested’Working in Mapo Building’ to all LG Yeouido Twin Tower cleaning workers (General)

Union opposes “to prevent unions in the building where the group headquarters is located”

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Young-shin and Park Jae-hyun = LG Mapo Building for all 30 cleaning workers currently working at LG Twin Tower in Yeouido LG Twin Tower and S&I Corporation (S&I), a building management subsidiary of LG Group, and Jisoo I&C, a building beautifier Suggested.

According to LG, S&I and Index INC delivered such a plan to the labor union at the second mediation meeting held in mediation with the southern branch of the Ministry of Employment and Labor on the 9th. The meeting was attended by management, representatives of cleaning workers, and officials from the KCTU public transport union.

Earlier, S&I ended a cleaning service contract with index INC, a subcontractor, at the end of last year. As a result, cleaning workers who had previously worked at LG Twin Tower were fired, and they have been making homeless campaigns by demanding succession of employment in front of the Twin Tower.

At a mediation meeting on the 5th of last month, S&I and Index INC proposed a plan to’allow 25 cleaning workers under the age of 65 to work at other workplaces and pay extra condolence money to 4 union members over 65 did.

However, the union did not accept that there is a high possibility that the union will break down if they work in multiple workplaces.

At the second meeting, S&I took over the employment of all workers to the LG Mapo Building and made it possible for union members aged 65 or older to continue working, which health permits.

S&I said, “Since this year, a new building beautification company has hired 90 new workers, including 30 disabled workers, to perform cleaning services.” “I have to find another job in about a month since I started.”

He added, “This proposal includes maintaining the employment of union members aged 65 and over. If the proposal is accepted by the union, we will work together in one LG Mapo building, eliminating concerns about the collapse of the union.”

Until now, Index INC has allowed workers 60 years of age or older to sign a yearly contract to work until the age of 65, but the management has largely accepted the union’s arguments, so even workers 65 years of age or older contract annually if health permits. It is a position to extend.

LG Mapo Building is located about 3 km from Yeouido Twin Tower and 10 minutes by public transportation, so the commuting environment will not be much different from Yeouido, the management explained.

S&I said, “In the situation of Corona 19, we have devised a new employment retention plan to allow cleaning workers to finish and return before Lunar New Year,” and said, “As we have largely accepted the union’s demand, we expect the occupational campaign to end. I will continue to discuss.”

The union side said, “The management did not provide a convincing reason for the reason to go to the Mapo Building instead of the Twin Tower. This will not allow cleaning workers to engage in union activities in the symbolic building where the headquarters of the LG Group is located. “It is.”

“It is beneficial for both labor and management to maintain the’skills’ accumulated by workers who have worked in the Twin Tower building for a long time,” he emphasized, saying, “Only’employment succession’, not’employment maintenance’, is the solution to the situation.”
