Members of the National Assembly’s Environmental Working Committee and members of the Democratic Party are silently praying for the condolences of the courier workers who died before a press conference on suspicion of the late Kim Won-jong, the late worker CJ Logistics courier service, in the Communications Hall of the National Assembly on the 15th. Reporter Oh Dae-geun
Kim Won-jong, a courier worker at CJ Logistics, delivered an average of 400 items per day. From 6:30 am to 10 pm every day, her average work time per day was 15 hours and 30 minutes. Kim, who suffered from heavy work, died of sudden breathing difficulties on the 8th. He was overworked. It was also reported that the company’s promise to assign additional staff to sort the packages had not been kept. However, Mr. Kim is not covered by workplace accident insurance. This is because an application was submitted on the 15th of last month, 20 days before his death.
As the blind spots of workers in special jobs (special high school) were revealed one after another, the Party Office belatedly announced on the 15th that “we will go ahead with a plan to force workers to subscribe to health insurance. workers’ compensation “. On the 6th, after the Ministry of Employment and Labor announced a plan to restrict the grounds for exclusion from the application of workers’ compensation insurance especially employees, the Blue House and the ruling party appear to have started to apply, but it is criticized it’s late
Cheong Wa Dae’s labor boss Hwang Deok appeared on MBC radio early that day and said, “Unless you are taking a long break from work, raising children, having an illness, etc., you cannot apply for the exemption from (industrial accident insurance). “We have an initiative to strengthen the protection of workers). The objective of the Party is to address the bill within this ordinary assembly.
To date, the government has applied industrial accident insurance to 14 special job types, including courier drivers. However, if you request exclusion, you cannot join. According to Democratic Party lawmaker Lim Jong-sung, 83% of the country’s special high school workers requested the exclusion of industrial accidents. Some analysts say that the fact that the special worker himself had to pay half of the premium was a burden, but there were also many concerns about the possibility that the system could be abused, such as coercion from management. CJ Logistics courier Kim Jong-seong also claimed that he applied for exemption from industrial accident insurance at the agency’s request. In fact, it was suspected that Mr. Kim’s application for exemption from occupational accident insurance had been drawn up by the National Assembly’s Environmental Work Committee, during the national audit. Democratic Party lawmaker Yang Lee Won-young noted that “the letter of the copy of Mr. Kim’s application submitted by the Ministry of Employment is the same as the letter of someone else’s application, and it is assumed that it was actually written by one person. “
Consequently, Hwannowi Democratic Party lawmakers held a joint press conference on the same day and called on the government and the courier industry to take action, saying: “We express serious concerns about the workers’ compensation exclusion system for special workers. “. Democratic Party lawmaker Roh Woong-rae announced the day before the “National Workers ‘Compensation Insurance Act,” which completely eliminates requests for exemption from workers’ compensation insurance, except in cases of child rearing. , illness, vacation or business closure. This year alone, eight courier workers died from overwork. That is why the criticism arises that the political movement is late.
