SEOUL, Sept. 4 (Yonhap) -- Thousands of unionized workers from state-run banks staged a massive street rally Friday in central Seoul to protest the government's possible plan to relocate their headquarters out of Seoul.

According to unofficial police estimates, about 15,000 members of the Korean Financial Industry Union (KFIU) gathered in the downtown Gwanghwamun area, under a one-day walkout, the first of its kind staged by the union since September 2025.

Many of those taking part in the street protest rally were said to be unionized workers of three policy lenders -- Korea Development Bank (KDB), Export-Import Bank of Korea (EXIM) and Industrial Bank of Korea (IBK).

The government has yet to unveil a detailed list of government agencies and public institutions to be relocated under its plan to lessen government concentration in the capital region, but many believe the three policy lenders, as well as financial authorities such as the Financial Supervisory Service, will likely be included in the list, among others.

In addition to expressing their opposition to a possible relocation, the unionized workers are also demanding a 6 percent wage increase, along with the introduction of a 4.5-day workweek and an extension of retirement age.

首尔，9月4日（韩联社）——数千名国有银行的工会成员周五在首尔市中心举行大规模街头集会，抗议政府可能将银行总部迁出首尔的计划。

据警方非官方估计，约 15,000 名韩国金融产业工会 (KFIU) 成员聚集在市中心光化门地区，举行了一天的罢工，这是该工会自 2025 年 9 月以来首次举行此类罢工。

据称，参加街头抗议集会的许多人是韩国开发银行（KDB）、韩国进出口银行（EXIM）和韩国产业银行（IBK）这三家政策性贷款机构的工会成员。

政府尚未公布根据其减少首都地区政府集中度的计划而将搬迁的政府机构和公共机构的详细名单，但许多人认为，除其他机构外，三大政策性贷款机构以及金融监督院等金融监管机构很可能被列入名单。

除了反对可能的搬迁外，工会成员还要求加薪 6%，实行每周 4.5 天工作制，并延长退休年龄。
