The Gwangju Branch plans to distribute promotional banners about the electronic card system to 100 workplaces subject to mandatory electronic card system within its jurisdiction and have them displayed on-site along with this campaign.

Lee Sang-hyun, head of the Gwangju Branch, stated, “We prepared the Retirement Mutual Aid Compliance Campaign to ensure the right to know for construction workers in our jurisdiction. Beyond the Gwangyang Steelworks, we will continuously expand promotional activities in cooperation with various organizations targeting areas with a high concentration of retirement mutual aid subscribing workplaces.”
