LG Display said on Thursday it held a "prime contractor-subcontractor safe workplace meeting" on Oct. 29 at its Paju plant. The event was held with the Goyang branch office of the Ministry of Employment and Labor. The labour union and partner firms also participated to discuss stronger cooperation to build a safer workplace.

At the meeting, the labour union and management shared safety and health activities conducted jointly and examples of workplace improvements. They also discussed ways for the union and management to embed a voluntary safety culture. Measures for prime contractors and subcontractors to build a safe working environment based on communication and cooperation were also on the agenda. Plans for win-win cooperation with partner firms were discussed as well.

The company said participants agreed to step up joint efforts to promote win-win cooperation with partner firms and protect vulnerable workers. The Goyang branch office of the Ministry of Employment and Labor provided guidance on key changes to the revised Trade Union Act and points to note in its implementation. Participants also urged cooperation to maintain stable labour-management relations based on mutual respect and trust between prime contractors and subcontractors.

Jung Eon-sook (정언숙), head of the Goyang branch office of the Ministry of Employment and Labor, said, "Creating a safe workplace requires active participation and cooperation from both prime contractors and subcontractors." She said she hopes the meeting will serve as an opportunity to strengthen trust and communication between them and help establish cooperative labour-management relations by protecting vulnerable workers and spreading a safety culture.
