Against labor deal

Union heads representing young, female and irregular employees hold a press conference at a civic group office in Seoul, Monday, denouncing the recent agreement of the Economic, Social and Labor Council (ESLC) to expand the application period of the flexible work hour system. Three of four representatives from the council's labor sector have boycotted the council meetings, saying they were excluded from the dialogue, preventing the council from officially approving the agreement. / Yonhap
