Contingent workers at Hyundai Motors whose faces are blackened by dust … “Reality continues in 1970”

On the 12th, the day before the 50th anniversary of Jeon Tae-il’s death, the KCTU posted an image that read “Reality is still 1970.”

This photo shows a worker from an internal subcontractor (master system) at the Hyundai Motor plant in Jeonju, whose face has turned black due to dust at the workplace. This worker is in charge of getting into the dust collector (a device that sucks up dust) at the Jeonju factory and removing the dust with a hand or shovel.

Recently, management has paid workers with low-cost masks instead of high-performance masks. Shin Seung-hun, president of the non-regular branch of Hyundai Motor in Jeonju, said: “It doesn’t matter if it is a mask with good performance or a mask with low cost, we cannot completely control the dust itself. However, they are asking management to provide a relatively better mask. “About 40 workers from the master system have been on strike since 9, demanding an adequate supply of masks, special medical checks and improved working conditions and treatment. .

KCTU said, “The master system paid 2 million won per worker out of the amount of 5.6 million won (hired) per person, and the remaining amount was taken as profit.” “I couldn’t find a problem, so I queued for a long time to go to work, received a search for a security guard, received a visitor’s pass, and entered the site.”

“On October 30, President Moon Jae-in visited Hyundai Motor Company in Ulsan, met with President Eui-sun Eui-sun to tour the site and stated that Hyundai Motor Company is the number one company in labor-management cooperation. and vision of the future. I’m curious what to say when I see this reality happening at Hyundai Motor, the number one company in labor cooperation and management and forward thinking. “

A Hyundai Motor Company official said: “The master system temporarily provided other dust masks with the same safety standard as the existing 3M KSC 1 grade, but we know it will provide 3M masks again starting from 10.” He added, “Employees of outsourcing companies working at the Jeonju plant are uniformly prohibited from entering and leaving with a visitor’s card and using commuter buses in accordance with company regulations.”
