On the 17th, the Sports Ethics Center (Chairman Park Ji-young) under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism called for disciplinary action against employees of the OO Golf Association for bullying in the workplace.

According to the Sports Ethics Center, the reporter claimed that the accused urged the victim to leave the company and leave the labor union by calling and face-to-face abuse and forcing him to write a memorandum, and that he criticized and gossiped about the victim to other employees during the period of separation measures after reporting workplace harassment to the Ministry of Employment and Labor. The accused reportedly stated, `I acknowledge the fact that I verbally abused and verbally abused the victim several times, but I do not remember some of the remarks, and I ordered him to leave the company and leave the labor union, but I did not actually force him to do so, and I put pressure on him in the sense of asking him to handle his work properly.'

The sports ethics center's deliberation committee confirmed that the report was true through transcripts between the accused and the victim. The accused repeatedly demanded verbal abuse and memoranda beyond the proper scope of his work, forcing him to leave the company and urging him to leave the labor union, and the accused blamed other employees for the victim's reporting and work ability during the period of separation measures following workplace harassment with the victim. The results of the Ministry of Employment and Labor's investigation also acknowledged that the accused violated the workplace harassment ban.




Accordingly, the Sports Ethics Center decided to demand disciplinary action against the accused, judging that the accused's behavior constitutes a violation of Article 762 of the Labor Standards Act (prohibition of bullying in the workplace) and Article 3 (principle) and Article 8 (principle of compliance with the law of executives and employees).

The Sports Ethics Center states that "an act of causing physical and mental pain and deteriorating the working environment beyond the proper scope of work by utilizing the superiority of the status or hierarchy within a sports organization is a clear violation of human rights."Through this OO Golf Association workplace harassment incident, the Sports Ethics Center will do its best to eradicate human rights violations in the sports community through thorough investigation and prevention so that employees of sports organizations can perform their duties properly and operate organizations based on laws and regulations." expressed his will.
