[정치]”Let’s protect courier and care workers” … Strengthen the application of workplace accident insurance

[앵커]

Additionally, the Democratic Party, the government, and the Blue House have crafted measures to protect essential workers in the Corona 19 era, including courier workers.

First of all, we plan to strengthen the application of occupational accident insurance.

We will connect journalists with the National Assembly to get more information. Reporter Choi Ah-young!

What countermeasures came up at today’s party office meeting?

First of all, let me explain to you the concept of compulsory workers mentioned by the party administration, it refers to workers who are essential in a disaster situation.

In the same situation as Corona 19, courier workers, healthcare workers, and care workers are among these essential workers.

However, it has been pointed out that the reality of employment is weak compared to what they do.

Consequently, the Party Government Office today presented a countermeasure.

First, it was decided to strengthen workers’ compensation insurance coverage for them.

In particular, “exclusive ownership” has been a problem.

To receive occupational accident insurance, sole ownership is recognized only when more than half of the income or hours of work are spent in a business.

Therefore, the Party Government decided to seriously promote the abolition of the exclusive ownership of occupational accident insurance.

Additionally, we are planning to upgrade the system to abolish the workers’ compensation insurance exclusion claim system for essential workers.

To this end, we decided to take measures close to the abolition level, except for some of the long-term holidays.

It was decided to add caregivers and substitute items to the essential worker goals that the government announced last month.

In addition, the party and the government plan to propose measures to prevent overwork in order to protect the long-term work of courier workers and improve jobs.

In this regard, the Ministry of Employment and Labor will release details this afternoon.

This time, we will also see the situation of the National Assembly.

Today is the second day of the ministry budget review and Minister Chu Mi-ae is coming out again, right?

Although the budget proposal for next year is being reviewed, the battle between Minister Choo Mi-ae and President Yoon Seok-yeol continues.

Today, the Special Committee on Budget and Clearance is conducting a review of next year’s budget for non-economic ministries.

The investigations include Minister Chu, Chairman of Audit and Inspection Choi Jae-hyung and Deputy Prime Minister Yoo Eun-hye.

Even today, the force of the people is expected to increase the level of pressure on the controversy of the prosecution on the costs of special activities raised by Minister Chu, calling for verification of the costs of special activities of the Blue House.

On the other hand, the Democratic Party plans to target Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol and Auditor General Choi Jae-hyung.

The Prosecutor’s Office is expected to launch an offensive against the suspected manipulation of the Wolseong Unit 1 assessment, which is being investigated by the Prosecutor’s Office, saying it is a political investigation.

Amid the political battles, the Budget and Accounting Committee has completed the departmental review to this day.

After many weeks, the budget review subcommittee is held and the budget increase and decrease are seriously reviewed.

So far, the National Assembly has handed it over.
