SEOUL, Sept. 3 (Yonhap) -- Unionized workers affiliated with the country's umbrella labor union will go on strike Friday to oppose the government's plans to relocate policy lenders and other public financial organizations from Seoul to provincial areas.

The Korea Financial Industry Union (KFIU), a major umbrella labor group, said Thursday its members will hold a rally in Gwanghwamun Square as planned as the government pushes ahead with its relocation scheme.

Although a detailed timeline or list of institutions subject to relocation are still murky, public financial institutions are opposed to the plan given the government's firm stance to relocate government ministries and agencies.

The KFIU also calls for a pay rise, a shortened workweek and an increase in the hiring of young people.

"We can't accept relocation plans without deep talks with interested parties," the labor umbrella group said, adding that it will hurt the lives of workers and undermine the overall financial industry.

The union demanded that the government stop pushing ahead with the process, claiming that the relocation plan is a political attempt to undermine policy lenders by excluding financial workers.

Korea Development Bank and other policy lenders are said to be subject to the relocation.

Relocation has been a long-term South Korean government project aimed at promoting balanced national development, as nearly half of the country's population resides in Seoul and its surrounding areas.

The government established Sejong City in the central region last decade and relocated major government ministries there, including the Ministry of Finance and Economy and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources.

Most recently, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries moved to the southeastern port city of Busan at the end of last year.

首尔，9月3日（韩联社）——隶属于韩国伞式工会的工会成员将于周五举行罢工，以反对政府将政策性贷款机构和其他公共金融机构从首尔迁往地方地区的计划。

韩国金融产业工会（KFIU）是韩国主要的工会组织，该工会周四表示，其成员将按计划在光化门广场举行集会，以抗议政府推进搬迁计划。

尽管搬迁的具体时间表或机构名单仍不明确，但鉴于政府坚定地要搬迁政府部门和机构，公共金融机构反对该计划。

KFIU还呼吁提高工资、缩短工作周，并增加对年轻人的雇用。

“我们不能在没有与相关各方进行深入磋商的情况下接受搬迁计划，”劳工组织表示，并补充说，这将损害工人的生活，并破坏整个金融行业。

工会要求政府停止推进这一进程，声称搬迁计划是一项政治举措，旨在通过排除金融从业人员来削弱政策性贷款机构。

据称，韩国开发银行和其他政策性贷款机构也将受到此次搬迁的影响。

人口迁移一直是韩国政府为促进国家均衡发展而长期推行的项目，因为该国近一半的人口居住在首尔及其周边地区。

上个十年，政府在中部地区设立了世宗市，并将包括财政经济部和产业通商资源部在内的主要政府部门迁至该市。

最近，海洋水产部于去年年底迁至东南部港口城市釜山。
