                Construction Workers Stage High-Rise Protest Over Wage Cuts And Job Insecurity

                Construction Workers Stage High-Rise Protest Over Wage Cuts And Job Insecurity

                Two senior officials from South Korea's construction workers' union, Kim Sun-jung, vice chief of the Gyeonggi Province Construction Branch, and Moon Seung-jin, director of the Seoul-North Gyeonggi Construction Branch, stage a protest atop a 70-meter-high advertising tower in Yeouido, Seoul, on October 2, 2024. The protest, which continues as of October 21, 2024, aims to oppose wage cuts and growing job insecurity in the construction industry. The protesters demand legislation that ensures priority hiring for domestic workers in an industry increasingly reliant on foreign labor. They also call for the withdrawal of a proposed daily wage cut of 20,000 KRW, arguing that it would further endanger the already unstable livelihoods of workers. This protest follows the breakdown of wage negotiations between construction companies and the union. While employers justify the cuts due to economic pressures, the union contends that such reductions would disproportionately harm workers who already face job instability.
