At a press conference in Gwanghwamun Square on May 14, the union urged authorities to provide support for the company\u2019s operating funds, including the injection of public capital. The union said Homeplus recently suspended operations at 37 stores and rolled out a voluntary retirement program, measures that have intensified the hardships faced by employees and tenant merchants. It also requested that UAMCO, a restructuring specialist, be appointed as a third\u2011party manager to restore Homeplus to normal operations.
