[정치]Significant Disasters Act is withdrawn …

[앵커]

In the plenary session on the 8th, the ruling and opposition parties once agreed to address the law on corporate punishment for severe disasters.

However, the disagreement between the ruling and opposition parties is great and the government continues to withdraw the contents of the bill to address the agreement.

In addition, the Democratic Party and representatives of the Popular Forces meet for the first time in the new year.

In a brief meeting of about 30 minutes, the ruling and opposition parties agreed on the schedule for the final plenary session of this extraordinary assembly.

[김영진 / 더불어민주당 원내수석부대표 : 중대재해기업처벌법, 생활물류서비스법 등 주요 민생 법안 중에서 여야가 합의한 법안을 1월 8일 오후 2시에 본회의를 열어서 처리하기로 했습니다.]

As the date of the plenary session was finalized, the possibility of handling the law of severe sanction for disasters increased.

To do this, the Democratic Party plans to achieve maximum results in an agreement with the opposition party.

However, the internal opposition of the force of the people is also difficult, so the agreement itself is not optimistic.

In addition, it is also controversial that the world of work is gradually withdrawing within the government, which it opposed from the beginning.

In the first opinion, the government announced that it should be extended to workplaces with fewer than 300 employees in the second opinion, after deferring the application of the severe disaster law to workplaces with less than 100 employees.

The government’s opinion is that the amount of punitive damages should be less than 5 times the amount of damages withdrawn from the Justice Party Plan, which is set at 3 times or more and 10 times less than the amount of the damage.

Here, based on the history of neglecting safety management in the past, we have eliminated the “causation estimate” that calls for liability for major accidents.

There is also much opposition to discussions in the direction of reducing the scope of punishment for related officials.

For this reason, even if the Democratic Party and the people’s powers have reached a dramatic agreement to deal with the corporate punishment law for severe disasters this week, it will not have a strong impact.
