The National Federation of Si/Gun/Gu Civil Servants' Unions presented the plaque Monday, recognizing efforts to improve communication and employee welfare; the September labor-management council pushed forward welfare improvements and additional security officer deployments
The National Federation of Si/Gun/Gu Civil Servants' Unions presented Dongdaemun-gu District Mayor Choi Dong-min with a plaque of appreciation Monday, the district office said.
The federation said it recognized Choi for his efforts to build trust between labor and management and foster mutual growth since taking office in the ninth round of local elections.
The federation also praised his sustained attention to improving the rights and welfare of union members and his active communication with staff. It singled out as key contributions his work at the 2026 Dongdaemun-gu Labor-Management Council in September, where he advanced improvements to employee welfare programs and pushed for the deployment of additional neighborhood security officers to better protect staff.
Federation Chairman Kim Min-seong said at a meeting that Choi's consistent efforts toward labor-management cooperation and his active promotion of employee welfare programs had made Dongdaemun-gu a model for other local governments. "We hope you will continue to play a major role in improving the welfare of Dongdaemun-gu employees," Kim said.
Choi said he regarded the plaque as recognition of the efforts and cooperation of all Dongdaemun-gu employees. "Happy employees are what allow us to provide high-quality administrative services to residents, and that in turn drives the development of Dongdaemun-gu," he said. He added that he would continue to work with the civil servants' union in a spirit of mutual respect and cooperation to do his utmost to improve employee welfare.
