The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 28th that it will hold the first meeting of the '2025 Civil Servants Union Policy Consultative Body' on the 29th, chaired by Deputy Minister Kim Min-jae.
About 20 people, including representatives from the three major unions such as the Civil Servants Union Federation, the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, and the National Public Servants Union, are expected to attend the first meeting of the year.
The policy consultative body is a forum where the civil servants' union and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety discuss improvements to working conditions, such as personnel and service for local public officials. It was first established in 2018 and has been operating regularly every year.
This year, the civil servants' union proposed 22 agenda items, including organization and personnel, pay and allowances, and training. Major items include ▲ recognition of the career and improvement of treatment for practical training employees ▲ abolition of the part-time civil servant system ▲ improvement of treatment for civil servants responsible for disaster prevention and agriculture-related duties.
Starting from the first meeting on this day, the policy consultative body plans to continue discussions on the civil servants' union's agenda until the end of the year.
Deputy Minister Kim Min-jae said, 'The agenda items presented to the policy consultative body reflect the voices from the field of policy implementation, so we will actively work to discuss them in depth to resolve the difficulties faced by front-line civil servants.'
