Two horse groomers committed suicides in protest of harsh working conditions due to indirect employment contracts facing horse groomers in the country.
Labor and management also agreed to the immediate measures to be taken for horse groomers and suicide incidents before the actual discussion takes place in the consultative body such as employment stability, enhanced wage transparency, guarantee of trade union activity, welfare and health, preventive measures of incident recurrence, restoration of honor for deceased horse groomers and compensation for the bereaved family.
