The legislation changes the official name of the annual holiday from \u201cWorkers\u2019 Day\u201d back to \u201cLabor Day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">May 1 has long been observed internationally as May Day, commemorating the 1886 labor movement in Chicago that fought for the eight-hour workday. In Korea, the day was first celebrated as \u201cLabor Day\u201d in 1923, but the name was changed to \u201cWorkers\u2019 Day\u201d in 1963 under the Act on the Establishment of Workers\u2019 Day. Initially set for March 10, the date was later moved to May 1 in 1994.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supporters of restoring the term \u201cLabor Day\u201d argue that the word \u201cworker\u201d originated during Japan\u2019s colonial rule and reflects a more passive, state-controlled notion of labor \u2014 unlike \u201clabor,\u201d which emphasizes autonomy and human dignity. Linguists also note that \u201cgeullo\u201d means \u201cto work diligently,\u201d while \u201cnodong\u201d simply means \u201cto work,\u201d making it a more value-neutral and inclusive expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Critics, however, point out that the word \u201cgeullo\u201d appeared as early as the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, long before the Japanese occupation, and remains enshrined in the Constitution. They argue that the renaming is unnecessary and largely symbolic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Labor Ministry said it will work with relevant government agencies to consider designating Labor Day as an official public holiday, adding that discussions are ongoing in the National Assembly\u2019s Public Administration and Security Committee. A bill to make the day a paid public holiday has already been introduced but remains pending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside the name change, lawmakers also approved several key amendments aimed at strengthening worker protections. The Guarantee of Workers\u2019 Retirement Benefits Act will now prevent employers who have been publicly listed for wage arrears from avoiding prosecution for failing to pay severance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Revisions to the Wage Claim Guarantee Act will allow the government to recover unpaid wages it covers on behalf of workers using the same procedures applied to delinquent tax collection. An amendment to the Employment Insurance Act will expand employment-retention subsidies during nationwide downturns in the labor market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other approved bills include measures to ease restrictions on establishing standard workplaces for persons with disabilities and to clarify the appointment of labor directors at public institutions such as the Korea Workers\u2019 Compensation and Welfare Service and the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting next year, South Korea will officially mark May 1 as \u201cLabor Day,\u201d restoring the name for the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":6497,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[38,28,54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-stories","category-biz-beyond","category-top-section"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>South Korea Restores \u2018Labor Day\u2019 Name for May 1 After 62 Years<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"South Korea will officially rename May 1 as \u201cLabor Day\u201d starting next year, restoring the title after 62 years.
