In the case of accidents or deaths at industrial sites, the corporate punishment law for severe disasters, which imposes a great responsibility on business owners, is being promoted in recent political circles. However, it increased the possibility that the Democratic Party would not adopt the bill as a party argument. I agree with the purpose of the legislation, but there are different voices within the party leadership on details such as the level of punishment.
Reporter Jeong-Hyun Jung covered this.

[이낙연/더불어민주당 대표 (9월 7일, 교섭단체 대표연설) : 산업 안전은 어제오늘의 과제가 아닙니다. ‘중대재해기업처벌법’ 제정이 그 시작입니다.]The executive director of the Democratic Party, Nak-yeon Lee, who said yesterday (11) that it would not be difficult to promote the legislation of the Law of Corporate Punishment for Severe Accidents as a party argument.
However, today, the 50th anniversary of Jeon Tae-il’s heat death, the senior members of the committee showed a difference in temperature.
[신동근/더불어민주당 최고위원 : 중대재해를 막을 수 있는 입법을 적극적으로 추진해야 할 것입니다.] [노웅래/더불어민주당 최고위원 : 취지는 백 번 공감합니다. 하지만 법이 실효성을 갖기 위해서는 충분히 심도 있는 논의가 필요할 것입니다.]It is said that the discussion was more intense in the closed session.
It is divided into the one that should rush the legislation as a party argument and the one that approaches it carefully instead of adopting it as a party argument.
Prudentialists are said to have argued that “the law is ambiguous and abstract” and that “the level of punishment is too high and the scope is wide.”
Some commented that the revision of the existing Occupational Health and Safety Act is sufficient.
Immediately after the meeting, Han Jeong-ae, Chairman of the Policy Committee, told the SBS reporter that “I once decided not to take the corporate disaster punishment law as a matter of party.”
However, the argument that Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong should adopt the party’s argument is also inconvenient for those who value the message and effect of the legislation, such as saying on social media in the late afternoon. : “We hope to adopt the argument of the party.”
As the power of the people of the first opposition party showed the possibility of legislative cooperation with the Justice Party, it was a concern whether the ruling Democratic Party would promote legislation based on the opinion of the party, but as disagreements arose within the party , the legislation would not be fluid.
