On the 11th, the relatives of the victims of industrial accidents began a fasting campaign in front of the National Assembly on the 11th to enact a law of corporate punishment for serious accidents within this year that assumes the corporate responsibility of the government for industrial accidents and it protects even the victims of social disasters. They condemned that the Democratic Party with a sufficient number of seats in the National Assembly promised to enact the enactment and was abandoning its functions.
The Headquarters for the Enactment of the Law on Business Punishment for Serious Accidents (hereinafter the Headquarters of the Movement), the Justice Party and the KCTU held a press conference in front of the main building of the National Assembly at 11 a.m. and they asked, “What is the National Assembly doing when people are dying?” Urged to enact. The temporary period of the National Assembly in December is from 10 this month to 10 January next year.
Taean Thermal Power Plant, the mother of the late Kim Yong-gyun, the late Kim Yong-gyun, president of the Kim Yong-gyun Foundation and CJENM, the late Lee Han-bit, father of the late Center for Human Rights of Workers of Hanbit Media, President Lee Yong-kwan. KCTU Vice President Lee Sang-jin and House Representative Kang Eun-mi of the Justice Party, who concentrated all their efforts on the Law on the 1st Law of the 21st National Assembly, also began fasting.
Earlier, Lee Tae-eui, vice president of the national public transport union and Kim Joo-hwan, president of the national agency’s drivers union, are making homeless singles in front of the main gate of the National Assembly for the fifth day from 7.
President Lee Yong-gwan stated the reason for the fast, saying: “To make a country where no one can return from work after going to work, so as not to continue to suffer continuous death, we also made the last decision to survive without dying.”
President Lee said, “Even though people have died, grieving families are crying blood because the company is not taking responsibility. This tragedy lasted several decades, 6 to 7 people a day, but the government and the National Assembly have neglected it. ”“ Many bills were passed in the regular National Assembly (which ended on the 9th), but we did not even discuss the corporate punishment law for severe disasters that we present. “I criticized it.
The last 10 days were two weeks after the death of the late Kim Yong-gyun at the Taean Thermal Power Plant. “The Occupational Safety and Health Law created by Yonggyun does not prevent continued death,” said President Misook Kim. “The world hasn’t changed. Every day you get stuck and die like Yonggyun, fall like Taegyu, die from burns and die from suffocation, die from suffocation, die from electric shock, die from overwork, die from bullying and dies of addiction to chemicals. ”
President Kim said, “The government and the National Assembly have been homeless since the seventh in the National Assembly to save the people by taking responsibility for security, and we bowed down and seriously talked to legislators to make some laws.” “But, it’s a shame we’re not discussing it yet. It was frustrating and I don’t know what to do.”
Also present were the bereaved family of the late Kim Tae-gyu, who died in an accident at the construction site, and the bereaved family of the late Kim Dong-jun, who died during field training at Meister High School. Kim Tae-gyu’s older sister, Kim Do-hyun, said, “I will not go see Tae-gyu until the law is passed. Please pass it on, ”he asked the National Assembly. Kim Dong-jun’s mother, Kang Seok-gyeong, also said, “I couldn’t keep my baby, but I hope that no one despairs with the same pain as ours.
The government and the ruling party said, “Eui-seok, the people support enough, why not?”
On September 22, the movement’s headquarters presented a bill to enact the Law on Business Sanction for Severe Accidents to the National Assembly with the consent of 100,000 people through a method of requesting public consent. Includes provisions to protect multi-level contract workers and specially employed workers, including punishment for corporate directors, such as those in charge of the head office, and to take legal responsibility for suppliers from causes of disasters such as the disinfectant humidifier disaster. There are also provisions that hold accountable for mismanagement and supervision of public officials.
In this regard, Gyeong-ju Heo, a survivor of the Stella daisy victims in 2017, said: “The Stella Daisy was refitted in China and operated as a cargo ship and sank. The state had to do the remodeling permit and the state had to do the safety inspection properly, “he said.” By enacting the Law on Corporate Penalties for Severe Accidents, public officials must break the perception that it is a pot of iron and take responsibility for the improper conduct of business. ”
The law was not even submitted to the plenary session that ended on the 9th. As criticism mounted, senior Democrats on the 10th announced they would pass it in the temporary National Assembly in December, which runs until January 10. of the next year.
Justice Party lawmaker Shim Sang-jeong said: “I also ask the Democratic Party of Korea” and “Is it necessary to explain the need for the law? Do you need more seats? Do you need more support from people? Can it not be by opposition opposition? Why the hell not, why not? “, I ask.
Rep. Shim continued, “Except in some in the financial world, where has Korean national opinion coalesced in this way?” “All parties have also issued all relevant bills. If this is thrown out of this extraordinary National Assembly, the Moon Jae-in administration should postpone the sign of a society that respects work.”
The Executive Director of the Justice Party, Kim Jong-cheol, said: “It is time that the Democratic Party (with 180 seats) can do almost anything in the National Assembly, it is time to show action instead of words.” “The Justice Party enacted this law this year to avoid the procession of death with a desperate heart. To do so, we will begin fasting with the parents of Kim Yong-gyun and Lee Han-bit. ”
After the press conference, President Mi-sook Kim, Yong-gwan Lee, Vice President Lee Sang-jin, and the Chairman of the Justice Party, Kang Eun-mi, began hunger strikes in the agricultural growth installed in the entrance of the Parliament building.
