National Assembly to hold last plenary session of 2018 on Thursday
- 5 years ago
South Korea's National Assembly will hold its last plenary session of the year this afternoon to vote on bills related to people's livelihoods.
Some 80 non-contested bills are expected to be passed,... which includes one on giving child benefits to parents with children aged six or under -- regardless of their income,... and another aimed at curbing harassment in the workplace.
It's unclear whether rival lawmakers will be voting on a set of bills aimed at boosting transparency and rooting out accounting fraud at kindergartens,... as well as a revision to the occupational safety act that will limit the outsourcing of dangerous work.
Negotiations have been ongoing,... but rival parties have yet to narrow their differences.
