The KPGA union said in a press release on the 14th that it will hold a public press conference at the National Assembly Communication Hall at 11 a.m. on the 15th to directly inform the public of the truth of the incident and urge them to resolve the situation.
Distrust and antagonism between associations and unions is at its peak. Disciplinary action → rebuttal → rebuttal → rebuttal → rebuttal continues.
The last association held a disciplinary committee on the 8th to confirm the disciplinary action against seven employees. Measures such as dismissal, reprimand and warning were taken.
The KPGA labor union strongly protested. 'He strongly criticized that he delayed disciplinary action against high-ranking executives who were the perpetrators of the atrocities, and imposed a number of disciplinary actions, including dismissal of many affected employees. Members of the board of directors, who have delayed the punishment of perpetrators for months, have been included in the committee to deliberate on the victims, destroying fairness and independence, he said, appealing that it was an unfair disciplinary action with no procedural justification.
The association refuted these claims in an official statement.
The association promised that `Officer A is completely excluded from his duties with indefinite suspension, and disciplinary action is in progress, not withholding,' `We are taking a careful approach in a way that respects legal procedures and results, and we will deal with it without any external pressure or cover.' Regarding the composition of the disciplinary committee 'The disciplinary committee was strictly organized in accordance with the regulations. It protested that 'the disciplinary action was objectively determined on the basis of violation of regulations and gross negligence in business.

'A full re-investigation of the association's unconventional measures, which covered the parties to the atrocities and took disciplinary action against the affected employees, is essential.'" Subsequently, the high-ranking officer A, who is the party to the atrocity, was given 'indefinite suspension', but this was a temporary measure close to a waiting order, not according to official disciplinary procedures, and there was no official notification to the victim or even hearing opinions.
In particular, regarding the composition of the disciplinary committee, the union said, `The fact that those with obvious conflicts of interest led the disciplinary action of the victims seriously undermined the fairness and independence of the procedure.' The association organized most of the disciplinary grounds based on a written statement that required senior executive A to write abusive language, verbal abuse, and coercion to the victims. This is a typical secondary offense, and 'Some employees were given disciplinary action without giving them the opportunity to explain as specified in the bylaws.
The KPGA union, which launched a public opinion contest with a press conference to the public, officially demanded the association to correct violations of the 52-hour workweek and wage arrears and disclose plans to prevent recurrence ▲ Disclosure of official disciplinary action and results against senior executive A ▲ Withdrawal of disciplinary action and official apology ▲ Formation of an independent fact-finding organization involving external experts ▲ Implementation of measures to protect affected employees ▲ Establishment of improvement measures for organizational culture based on labor-management agreements ▲ Corrections for violations of the 52-hour workweek and overdue wages, and release plans to prevent recurrence.
