Kim Min-seok, leader of the Democratic Party, stated on September 29 that improving living conditions is essential for the success of President Lee Jae-myung's three major national projects.
During an appearance on the Democratic Party's YouTube channel 'Minty07', Kim said, "The president will hold meetings with executives from participating companies and discuss living conditions as the three mega projects are launched nationwide, starting from Honam and extending to Yeongnam and Chungcheong regions."
He emphasized, "For any industry or job to be created, infrastructure must be established. The party will prioritize supporting related legislation," indicating a commitment to quickly develop various infrastructures, including transportation, housing, education, and culture.
Kim also announced plans to thoroughly review the reduction of personnel at the Seoul subway vehicle maintenance facility. He visited the Shinjeong vehicle maintenance center in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, early in the morning to listen to the concerns of industry workers.
He explained that while the number of operating vehicles has increased compared to 20 years ago, the workforce has been reduced by nearly 2,000. He noted, "The city of Seoul is looking to further cut personnel, which, while understandable from a cost-saving perspective, poses significant safety concerns."
He added, "There is a worrying focus on reducing staff, which could compromise safety. When a vehicle arrives, 7 to 8 workers are dispersed to inspect it within an hour. There are risks related to power, and workers have expressed their burdens."
