Attending it were the chairman of the Press Trade Union, the chiefs of headquarters in Seoul region under major press trade unions including KBS, SBS, CBS, OBS and YTN and other trade unionists.

Speakers denounced the MBC side for unilaterally ordering the full-timers of the trade unions to return to work in the middle of wage negotiations with the MBC headquarters.

The chairman of the Press Trade Union said the MBC side banned the trade union activities of the full-time unionists, not content with cracking down on workers demanding unbiased broadcasting.

He urged the MBC to withdraw the "working hour exemption" system and ensure the activities of full-timers of the trade unions.
