Yang Gyeong-soo (44), head of the KCTU’s Gyeonggi Regional Headquarters, was elected and announced a “hard-line fight” as the new KCTU president. After 22 years of social engagement that were broken in July, the relationship between the government and the government is expected to continue to unravel during the remaining period of Moon Jae-in’s administration.
On the 24th, the KCTU announced the results of the final vote for the election of the next president, senior vice president and general secretary, and announced that the candidate Yang Gyeong-soo was elected. Both voters obtained 275,413 (55.7%) of the total of 531,158 votes. Candidate Sang-koo Kim, No. 1, who made a promise of social negotiation and social dialogue, received only 228,000 votes (44.3%). Candidate Taek-geun Yoon and Jong-deok Jeon, who ran as a team with both elected candidates, were chosen as Senior Vice President and General Secretary, respectively. They will lead the KCTU for three years starting in January next year.
Both electors were supported by the National Assembly, the largest political faction in the KCTU, and elections were predominantly frequent from the beginning of the elections. In the first round of voting that took place earlier, 31.26% of the four candidates were voted, occupying the first place. Both elected are also the first non-regular workers to be president of the KCTU. He began union activities working as a non-regular worker under internal outsourcing to Kia Motors, and served as president of the Kia Motors non-regular worker branch in the metals union.
During the elections, he focused on the fight rather than the conversation. Even in the joint candidate debate, he showed a critical stance on social dialogue, saying: “Social dialogue became the purpose of the dialogue itself and not the content of the agenda.” He also proposed November 3 of next year as the date of the general strike, saying that he would begin preparing for the general strike as soon as he was elected president.
Consequently, the relationship between the Moon Jae-in administration and the KCTU is expected to freeze. In their impressions of the election, both presidents-elect said: “For the first time in history, we will see the 1st Confederation of Trade Unions organizing a prepared general strike.” “The government and capital must be aware that the KCTU has arrived, that it serves the workers as their masters, and that the labor movement based on struggle has arrived,” he said.
