The district will promote projects to improve working conditions and labor awareness as well as labor welfare support projects at the center.
The 'Working Conditions Improvement Project' provides free consultations on labor affairs, labor law, and job counseling. Certified labor attorneys and job counseling specialists stationed at the center offer professional consultations to workers and job seekers.
Consultations with certified labor attorneys are available on weekdays from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Any worker can receive free specialized consultations on labor-related issues such as wage arrears and unfair dismissal in a separately prepared consultation room. Job counseling operates from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, providing local job information and customized employment counseling services for job seekers.
The 'Labor Awareness Improvement Project' offers labor law education on topics such as the Labor Standards Act, wages, severance pay, and working hours to workers, youth, and adolescents to help them understand their rights.
Additionally, to improve awareness of workers, the project promotes labor human rights education, safety education, and campaigns for delivery workers.
The 'Labor Welfare Support Project' operates cultural and welfare programs such as healing programs for office workers and job seekers. It plans to run health, performance, and exchange programs for workers and youth in cooperation with related local organizations.
Convenience spaces where human interaction and rest are possible have also been prepared for G-Valley office workers and job-seeking youth.
A cafeteria has been created where workers and job seekers can visit anytime to enjoy beverages, relax comfortably, or have conversations. Spaces for charging mobile phones and using portable computers have also been provided to make it a useful space for local residents.
