“The first piece of advice the senior officer gave me when I started the watch was not to fight the villagers. I did. I always lost when I fought. If I was right, the villagers were always right.” – <임계장 이야기> P. 69
Jo Jung-jin (63), the author of the book he wrote while working as a department security guard, cried after hearing the death of Choi Hee-seok, a department security guard in Ui-dong. Jo also worked as a security guard, and was fired for blowing the whistle toward his wife’s car and giving the flower bed a bucket instead of a hose. The law was distant, and the layoff that led to residents’ protests was close. There was a vulnerable working structure for the apartment guards, who were ‘gothaja’ (easy to handle, easy to handle and cut).
“I really didn’t want to live when I was kneeling down and praying that an apartment resident wasted tap water. I know Choi Hee-seok’s feelings well.”
Writer Cho Jung-jin on the afternoon of the 13th <오마이뉴스>Wow, he continued to speak in a desperate voice on a phone call. Claimed to be “social murder” by Choi Hee-suk, a security guard who died only because he could not win over residents.

How should the treatment of security guards in apartments change after a duel over Choi Hee-seok? Can the social structure that made residents’ impasse possible change? “It is not a simple matter because the ‘power of the apartment’ is so great,” Cho Jung-jin said.
“More than half of the people live in apartments, especially in the case of powerful opinion leaders, most of them live in apartments and the political power cannot easily touch them,” Cho said.
Writer Cho said, “Please discover innocence,” while referring to the content of Choi Hee-suk’s will. “Society has to take this will to a great extent,” he said. “It is not just about violence, but also about the suddenly indifferent and tolerant social attitude.”
“Mr. Hee-seok Choi has been exposed to death for 20 days. He had a good reputation among residents, and despite the suffering for 20 days, no one saved him. This is social murder.” People may not be able to go to work. Who is the loss if it is reported to the police? “
“Security Guard Rules = Surveillance and Intermittent Workers Should Change”

“There is no legal and social safety net for guards,” Cho said. “The public housing administration law has a provision that prohibits sudden violations. However, there is no provision for punishment for violating it, so it is only the Hunsi regulation,” he said.
He said: “Under the Guard Business Act, security guards are not allowed to do the tasks of the facility.” However, if you go to the department to suppress it, there will be a huge reality.
He added: “If you prohibit guards from working, you must hire people to work in the department at a higher cost, so you must consider reality.” Some predict that enforcement of the Guard Business Act could lead to mass layoffs by older security guards.
He diagnosed that banning security guards at this time is not a solution. “Instead, we must change the interpretation of the security guard as a watchdog and an intermittent worker,” he said. Surveillance and intermittent workers are those who engage in work with long wait times due to intermittent work. If you become a monitoring and intermittent worker, rest hours are not recognized as work hours under the Labor Standards Act.
Jo said security guards in the department cannot be seen as surveillance and intermittent workers. He said: “As the minimum wage increased, the number of security guards in the apartments decreased, so the security guards had no problem. Right now, one of the seven apartments I worked in was making a job”. If you lift the restrictions, security guards will be able to receive weekly and nightly work assignments under the Labor Standards Act. “
“What to answer in politics”
“Good people don’t have to look at my books, but they say they will read and reflect on them,” Cho said. “I want politicians to read my books.”
“I sent a book to some of the people who will work in the 21st National Assembly, but there is no response, because the media reports that Hee-Seok Choi should respond now,” Cho said. Said.
