[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] On the 9th, Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, visited the Korea Employers Federation and promised, "We will work together with companies to create quality and sustainable jobs."
In his opening remarks that day, Candidate Yoon said, "It is a fact that even elementary school students know that jobs are created and workers become happy only when companies grow."
He explained, "Most presidential candidates say during elections that they will create a business-friendly environment, but once in power, some governments treated businesspeople as criminals involved in corruption," adding, "Now, digital transformation is happening rapidly, and if companies, workers, and laborers fail to properly adapt, everyone will suffer together." He continued, "It is not important whether they try to find their position in a 'zero-sum game' between companies and workers out of a sense of urgency," and said, "I see labor and management as being in the same fate."
Candidate Yoon emphasized, "When entrusted with the next government, I will set the creation of quality and sustainable jobs as the highest national goal and implement comprehensive policies across all economic, social, welfare, and even defense policies to create quality jobs," adding, "For companies participating in global competition, regulations will be eased, and various measures such as opening new markets will be efficiently carried out to help small companies grow."
