Among 92 civil servants from Gyeonggi Province who participated in the nationwide civil service union strike, severe disciplinary action has been recommended for 19 of them to the province.

According to the province on the 17th, as of 3 p.m. that day, the cities and counties under Gyeonggi Province jurisdiction that recommended severe disciplinary action include: 2 from the provincial government, 8 from Suwon, 5 from Goyang, 2 each from Gwangmyeong and Hwaseong, and 1 each from Gunpo and Pocheon.

The province expects to receive severe disciplinary action recommendation reports for strike participants from the remaining cities and counties by late afternoon on the 17th or by the morning of the 18th at the latest.

The province has identified a total of 92 civil servants subject to strike-related disciplinary action across the province and 14 cities and counties (2 from the province, 8 from Suwon, 8 from Anyang, 5 from Bucheon, 7 from Anyang, 4 from Hanam, 9 from Osan, 2 from Hwaseong, 2 from Pyeongtaek, 7 from Gwangmyeong, 5 from Siheung, 1 from Gunpo, 16 from Ansan, 1 from Pocheon, and 15 from Gwacheon).

Once the province receives all severe disciplinary action recommendation reports from the relevant cities and counties, it plans to immediately notify the targeted disciplinary subjects of the personnel committee's decision and hold a personnel committee meeting around the 23rd to determine the level of disciplinary action.

A provincial official stated, "Each mayor and county head initially make judgments to classify subjects into minor and severe disciplinary categories. For those recommended for severe discipline, the province receives requests, while minor discipline subjects have their disciplinary level determined by the respective city or county authorities."
