I delivered the government's labor policy reform plan to flexibly change the 52-hour workweek.

However, a day after the announcement, the president said that the contents were not the official position of the government, and there was a lot of confusion. 



Reporter Jo Yoon-ha covered what happened.

At 11 am on the 23rd (23rd), Minister of Employment and Labor, Jeong-sik Lee, announced a labor policy bill with the core of the plan to expand the calculation of the 52-hour workweek from weekly to monthly.



But yesterday morning, on the way to work for the president, I answered a reporter's question that the labor community was against this plan.



[President Yoon Seok-yeol: I did not receive the report yesterday, so I appeared in the media this morning and when I checked in the morning, the Ministry of Labor did not announce it, but it was a situation where I was told to review the flexibility of working hours, and it is still the official position of the government. It has not been announced.]



SBS reporters immediately asked an official from the Ministry of Labor, and they responded, "Everyone is saying what kind of English it is" and "We are embarrassed too."



Another hour later, the ruling party floor leader also gave a different answer than the president, saying, "I have received the report."



[Kwon Seong-dong / People's Power Floor Leader: There was a discussion between the party governments.

Now that I have received a report, I have received a report rather than a consultation.]



The presidential office began to evolve in six hours.



An official from the presidential office explained that the announcement by the Ministry of Labor was an explanation of the implementation plan, and that it came out as a final decision to the media, and that it was not an official position as it was a plan that the president had not reported.



It is interpreted that some media outlets were targeting an article that said they would be working up to 92 hours a week, but as a result, it seems inevitable that there was confusion in the policy implementation process.
