\n <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n The Democratic Party’s Choi Dae-ho<\/strong>, a candidate for mayor of Anyang in Gyeonggi Province, vowed on May 1 that he would \u201cwork tirelessly to make Anyang a city that respects labor.\u201d
On the 136th International Workers\u2019 Day, Choi presented respect for labor and the creation of safer working conditions as his core pledges.
In a statement, he said, \u201cSouth Korea\u2019s economy rests on the dedication and sweat of its workers,\u201d and he pledged to ensure that workers receive fair treatment and can work in safe environments.
He emphasized that this year marks the first since the name was changed back from \u201cWorking People\u2019s Day\u201d to \u201cWorkers\u2019 Day,\u201d and added, \u201cI will build an Anyang where the value of labor is fully respected.\u201d
He described workers as \u201cessential members who sustain society and families,\u201d and reiterated the need to prevent industrial accidents and establish safe workplaces.
Choi also said that, even as industry shifts with the spread of artificial intelligence (AI), the dignity of labor must endure, and he committed to preserving workers\u2019 value amid those changes.
Internationally, May 1 became established as Workers\u2019 Day following the 1886 general strike by U.S. workers.
In Korea, the day was long referred to as \u201cWorking People\u2019s Day,\u201d but growing public emphasis on workers\u2019 rights and agency\u2014along with efforts to align terminology with international practice\u2014has led to wider use of the term \u201cWorkers\u2019 Day.\u201d
However, the legal designation still remains \u201cWorking People\u2019s Day,\u201d and \u201cWorkers\u2019 Day\u201d is used in parallel by labor groups and some social sectors.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Choi Dae-ho<\/strong> urged workers to take a well-earned rest on Workers\u2019 Day, saying, \u201cPlease put aside your toil today and enjoy a peaceful break,\u201d and offered a message of thanks to workers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Candidate Choi emphasizes the need for a labor-respecting city and safe working conditions on International Workers’ Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/cdn-union.tenbizt.com\/contents\/crawler-dev\/thumbnail\/2026\/05\/CP-2023-0070\/thumb-07fd5a22-a1b5-4898-84f7-734680f86b50.jpg","footnotes":""},"categories":[278100],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-259092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-social"],"yoast_head":"\n
