The Severe Accidents Corporate Sanction Law, which was intended to strengthen the responsibilities of the original company’s work-related accidents, was proposed by the plenary as an amendment to which the original purpose was withdrawn. In particular, there are criticisms that the National Assembly created a blind spot on its own by excluding or suspending small businesses with fewer than 50 employees, where 80% of all industrial accidents occur.
The criticism of the 8th could not be found in the conservative media. The Chosun Ilbo is all that is put in a short 5 paragraph article in the bottom corner of page 14. The article titled “Elementary, Middle and High School Principals Demanding School Exclusion from the Serious Accident Penalties Act ”Says elementary, middle and high school principals are demanding the suspension of the legislation when principals are included in the punishment for industrial accidents.
Even point distortion was seen. This is an interview with Ho-gap Kang, president of the Korean Medium Business Federation, titled “Policy and Social Responsibilities of Trade Unions,” on page 10. Chosun Ilbo said: “If the ‘big disaster companies’ are going to be punished, the ‘material free democracy punishment law’ and ‘the most important market economy destruction punishment law’ should also be punished for those who seriously damage liberal democratic values and the order of the economy of market, which is the basis of our constitution. “Yes,” he said, referring to the fact that unions and environmental groups demanded “anti-corporate policy” in a madness and undermined the value of representative democracy. The essence of the Serious Accident Corporate Sanctions Act is an effective reform of the industrial accident prevention system.
Dong-A Ilbo and JoongAng Ilbo emphasized the business reporters’ assessment. On the 7th, Dong-A Ilbo noted that Park Yong-man, president of the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry, told reporters at the ‘New Year’s Meeting on the Economy’ that “if you keep talking about punishment, ( businesses) will inevitably shrink. ” “I feel discouraged and frustrated because most of the nuclei requested by the management community are not reflected,” he added. .

The Jojung-dong area where only management complaints can be seen
The Law on Commercial Sanctions for Severe Accidents was approved by the Legislative Review Subcommittee of the Legislative Judicial Commission on the 7th, and is ahead of today’s plenary session (8).
Regarding the approval plan, workplaces with less than 5 employees were removed from the application and the application was suspended for 3 years. The Hankyoreh said: “Of the 1,571 deaths from industrial accidents from January to September last year, 23.9% (375) were from workplaces with fewer than five employees and 61.5% (966 people) of workers in workplaces with fewer than 50 employees. It is a suggestion to neglect small businesses that are outsourced by the company, and there is a possibility that there is a shortcut such as ‘splitting’ into companies with fewer than 5 employees. “
Provisions granting the ordering party the same health and safety obligations as the original subcontractors and subcontractors were also omitted. The presumption clause on causal relationships was also eliminated, which presumes that the management manager who tried to cover up work accidents was responsible for death from work accidents. In the case of industrial accident death, employers or managers withdrew to a fine of ‘one year or more in prison and a fine of less than 1 billion won’ and corporations with a fine of ‘5 billion or less ‘. In the case of corporations, the lower limit of the fine has not been established. The amount of punitive damages was also reduced from ‘minimum 5 times’ to ‘maximum 5 times’ of the amount of damage.
Choi Jeong-hak, professor at Korea University of Communications (law), told Hankyoreh: “It was the key to being jailed from the management manager’s punishment. He pointed out that if Han Hyung Ha is ‘over a year old,’ it is highly likely that the person in charge is still suspended from the practice until now. “
The Kyunghyang Shinmun further criticized that most of the Moon Jae-in administration’s labor respect policies were limited to Yongdusami. In the case of regular employment of non-regular workers in the public sector, many institutions have overlooked the employment of regular employees of subsidiaries. The income-driven growth policy also significantly raised the statutory minimum wage in the first and second years of tenure, but last year it showed the lowest rate of increase, and in 2018, the rate of increase was reduced by adjusting the scope. of the minimum wage. The ratification of the fundamental conventions of the International Labor Organization (ILO), a promise for the presidential election, is still pending in the National Assembly.
Kyunghyang Shinmun said: “The attitude of the government and the ruling party towards the labor laws is different from the attitude towards the bill to reform the prosecution service.” “There are some objections that the government and the ruling party in charge of state administration should also consider the position of the business community. · It is pointed out that the firm philosophy of the ruling party and the lack of leadership are the fundamental cause ”.
The late Kim Yong-gyun, mother of the late Kim Yong-gyun, who fasted for 28 days, insisting on passing the original bill of the Business Penalty Law for Severe Accidents, told the media on the 7th: “It seems that the National Assembly has ended up making a show-style bill after making politics about people’s lives. ” . Labor organizations like the KCTU said: “An average of 300 people die in workplaces with fewer than five workers per year. Congressmen are not interested in the disappearance of more than 300 universes ”.
“The Day of Shame for American Democracy” “Trump’s Seed of Violence”
On the 8th, the front page of a full newspaper of nine morning papers from across the country was decorated by supporters of President Donald Trump, protesting at the United States Capitol. On the 6th (local time), hundreds of supporters stormed the capitol where a joint House and Senate meeting was held to confirm the victory of Joe Biden’s presidential election and protested for about four hours.
A sympathizer was shot dead by the police who crushed her. A total of 4 people died that day and 52 were arrested. Explosives were also found in a building near the parliament.
The media criticized President Trump for inciting him. The Kyunghyang Shinmun said: “President Trump defended armed supporters during last year’s elections via Twitter, and after the presidential elections were over, he has spread a message of ‘electoral dissent.’ He analyzed that he especially stimulated supporters by saying “March to Parliament” at the demonstration that day.
The Kookmin Daily reported that “President Trump has been criticized for instigating hatred and spreading lies to unite supporters, causing division and confusion in American society.” He noted that for four years, the tacit support of President Trump has accumulated power, and that the American society that neglected them had a shocking result of a ‘presidential coup.’
Some point out that even this meddling in the Capitol was based on white privilege. Jamal Crawford, an American professional basketball player, wrote on his Twitter on the 7th: “When you know you have a ‘privilege’ that you can do anything, you can do it.”
The Seoul newspaper said: “Citizens (online) rioted inside the Capitol because of a photo of the National Defense Forces lined up in front of Congress and the White House to block protesters during the ‘Black Lives Matter’ protest on last year. He compared his beak and criticized him, saying, ‘If he was a black man, they would have shot him earlier.’ Also, “Thirteen people were arrested today, when the rebels struck Congress. More than 14,000 people were captured during the BLM protests. White privilege can be quantified, “added comedian Hari Kondabolu.
