The Ministry of Labor, War Invalids, and Social Affairs asked the Departments of Labor, War Invalids, and Social Affairs in the provinces and cities run by the central government to be in charge of and coordinate with the provincial-level Labor Confederation and other groups. People in charge of their areas are distributing and guiding the implementation of the Resolution.
