On the 7th, the Justice Party launched a “72-hour campaign throughout the night” in the Lawyers’ Hall of the National Assembly to enact the law punishing companies with serious disasters. Kim Yong-gyun, a non-regular worker who passed away due to an industrial accident, and PD Lee Han-byul’s grieving family, held together a sign that read, “ All workers have the right to be safe. ” Mr. Kim Yong-gyun’s mother, Kim Mi-sook, said: “2,400 people die and 110,000 are injured each year.” “The National Assembly urges the immediate promulgation of the Law on the punishment of companies with serious disasters.”
In addition to their screams, the Democratic Party and the power of the people did not include the bill to enact the Law on Business Penalty for Severe Accidents in the first so-called discussion agenda of the judicial committee. The main objective of the Law on Corporate Penalties for Serious Accidents is to strengthen the responsibility of employers, such as the criminal punishment of managers in case of serious industrial accidents, such as the death of workers. It was only after a resolution of the judicial commission held that day and the resolution of the plenary session to reach the plenary session. However, it has become practically difficult to deal with the regular National Assembly, which is not on the agenda and ends on the 9th.
Previously, representatives of the opposition parties emphasized the handling of the Law of Commercial Sanctions for Serious Accidents within the ordinary National Assembly. The leader of the Democratic Party, Lee Nak-yeon, expressed his will: “The principle of handling it in this ordinary assembly has not changed,” and Kim Jong-in, head of the Popular Force Emergency Response Committee, argued the need and He said: “We have no choice but to do it on the basis of the first match.” However, as the discussions in the judicial committee collapsed that day, the promises of the representatives of both parties were practically empty.
Senior officials were expected to come under pressure against other issues, such as the Crime Investigation Act Revision Act and the Third Economic Act, and faced strong opposition from the business community and failed to adequately cross the threshold of the judiciary. . This is because despite the need for its enactment, it has not been able to reach the table for discussion between the opposition parties since last June, when the XXI National Assembly began. The public hearing, which must be approved by legislative law, was only held on the 2nd, but members of the Popular Power could not attend, claiming that it was arbitrary.
It is a position that more discussions are inevitable, as there is great concern that the power of the Democratic Party and the people may over-legislate due to the high level of punishment. However, the criticism that he was passive before the legislative law was also fierce to look at the business world. Justice Party Executive Director Kim Jong-cheol said: “People keep dying because of a company that only makes money, but because of the tabletop public opinion of the two big parties, we cannot even block accidents. “, said.
