Media workers say ‘verbal violence I have suffered’
Half words are the basics, sometimes rant
Sexual harassment and gender discrimination
Real attack, like hitting on the back of the head
“Everyone is sensitive to long working hours”
freelancer? Site ship dependency
Workers must be recognized and protected
“As soon as I see that I am young, the half horse is basic” (4th year, makeup team), “I am shit”, “If this file goes wrong, I will kill it”. I didn’t pretend to know if I didn’t tell a man over 40 to say my brother ”(2nd year, Director).
These are the rants that media workers hear in the workplace. On the 3rd, Kyunghyang Shinmun obtained the results of a survey on the acts of verbal violence on the broadcast site that I suffered. Hanbit Media Center for Labor Human Rights and Win-win Public Solidarity Fund reported for a month last month, and 23 media workers participated. Additionally, four current and former employees, including a 15-year-old freelance producer and a director with two years of experience in the production department, heard about the actual conditions of violence and emotional harassment at the broadcast production site they experienced.
At the production site, half the horses were basic, and spiel and harassment were every day. Mr. A, who has 3 years of experience in the management team, said: “Basically, if you think you are young, it is a culture that speaks informally. There were cases of “I basically hear swearing, ravings, carelessness, etc.” (7 years, management team), and “contempt of personality, curse of parents” (6 years, data).
Instead of a name or title, they were often called “hey” or “the youngest.” Mr. B, the third-year art director, said: “The cinematographer called me as an art director and yelled at me as ‘art’. “It wasn’t about sharing opinions, it was about giving permission.”
Mr C, who has 3 years of experience in the management department, said: “As I wrote the word ‘youngest’, I kept hearing the words ‘youngest should do this and that'”.
Female staff were exposed to sexual harassment and sex discrimination. Mr. D, in his twenties, who worked as a boom operator for a drama for a year (person in charge of filming on site), had a team leader in his 50s, Grip (special equipment operation ). The same colleague told the one who made a mistake: “It’s because I didn’t go to the army.” Mr. E, a 15-year-old freelance theater producer, said: “They told me that ‘you will turn into a black body’ as you gain weight.”
There was also a physical threat. Mr. E was nearly hit by a mobile phone thrown by a PD on the film set. The reason was that things were not going well. He said: “The phone was about to break,” he said. “Usually I hit my head on the back and say, ‘I like you because you speak well.’ Mr. F, who has 7 years of experience in the directing department, said: “I saw the assistant director assault them in the bathroom, saying that they could not act,” and said: “It is rumored that the actors leave quickly and it is not easy to raise a problem. “
Participants agreed that the characteristics of the broadcasting industry, whose performance is determined by tight production schedules and audience ratings, are at stake. Mr. G, a full-time PD of a terrestrial broadcasting station, said: “Everything is justified under the rule that broadcasts must be launched within a fixed time.”
Long working hours, up to 20 hours a day, were also mentioned as a cause. Mr. E said, “Since I work for a long time and sleep less, everyone becomes sensitive to small mistakes.”
Harassment at the broadcast production site is of a serious level, but protective measures are not adequate. Since most media workers are self-employed, they are not subject to workplace harassment prevention regulations within the limits of the Labor Standards Act. Experts point out that these workers, who are only “self-employed”, who are actually subordinates, should be recognized as “workers”.
Jin Jae-yeon, Director of Hanbit Media’s Labor Rights Center, said: “It is urgent that it be mandatory to draw up an employment contract on the streaming site so that the provisions related to harassment in the Labor Standards Act can be applied. There must be a conscious effort from both the production company and the field workers ”.
