Disciplinary Action Against 50s Public Employee for Workplace Harassment of Female Staff Saying "Meet Me"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] A public employee in Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, who committed workplace power abuse by demanding private meetings, has been disciplined.

Nam-gu held a disciplinary committee on the 26th and imposed a three-month suspension on Mr. A.

Mr. A (in his 50s) was investigated for assigning tasks beyond his authority and demanding private meetings with two junior female public employees working in the same department earlier this year.

In particular, it was revealed that he engaged in inappropriate physical contact and made sexually harassing remarks toward the female victims.

After receiving reports of these damages, Nam-gu launched an audit and recommended severe disciplinary action to the relevant department.
