李在明总统5月1日在青瓦台举行的劳动节纪念仪式上承诺，将坚定不移地保障职场安全。他强调，劳工福祉与企业发展相互依存。面对人工智能对就业构成的威胁，他主张将人置于生产力之上。
首尔，5月1日（韩联社）——李在明总统周五在青瓦台举行的劳动节纪念活动上承诺：“在职场安全问题上，我绝不妥协，也不会做出任何让步。”他誓言要建设一个“正常”的国家，让每一位劳动者在工作时都不必冒生命危险。
他补充道：“保护劳动者是任何国家和企业最基本的责任。”他反驳了“亲商即反劳工”的陈旧观念，并指出“只有以劳动为后盾，经济增长才有未来”。
针对人工智能（AI）将取代人类劳动力的担忧，总统表示，“以生产力为名要求劳动者做出牺牲是不对的。”他称劳动者是“我们经济的脊梁”。这是青瓦台首次举办劳动节纪念活动，韩国劳总（FKTU）和民主劳总（KCTU）首次共同出席。
此次活动聚集了约130名参与者，其中包括劳工界、管理层、政府的主要负责人以及来自各行各业的劳动者。韩国最初将5月1日定为“劳动节”，后于1963年更名为“劳动者日”；政府去年恢复了原名称，并于今年早些时候将其指定为法定假日。
