Characterization and Student Rights Association of the 2nd June Min-Ju Award, presented by the Min-Ju Movement Memorial Association
When Kim (then 19) was repairing the screen door at the Guui Station on Seoul Subway Line 2 in May 2016, the last stop he stayed at was a step by students wearing uniforms. Most of them were students from Characterization and origin, such as Kim, who died. Kim started Field practice at Eunsung PSD from the end of 2015 when he was a senior in high School, and joined the company as it was. Kim, who had been driven to the workplace of Death, seemed to be no different from his juniors. Post-it with these phrases appeared at the scene of the accident. This is not an accident of injustice, you are me.
The Death of Kim was not just an accident caused by accidental misfortune, and the Death of young workers from Characterization and origin such as Lee Min-ho and Kim Yong-gyun became clear. Students began to moi Gi with the determination that they could no longer devote someone's life to a dangerous workplace. If the world does not change, next time my friend, Baro, and then I made 'Characterization and Student Rights Association' with the desperation that I will be myself. In Gwanghwamun, the National Assembly, two years of shouting "Do not kill anymore" at the School site, although the world did not change enough as they hoped, the achievement was recognized. It was selected as the winner of the 2nd Min-Ju Award, which was awarded by the Min-Ju Movement Memorial Association.
“There are many other widely unknown Deaths besides the Lee Min-ho who died during the Field practice at Guui Station Kim or Jeju Island. In March 2017, Hong-mo, who was doing Field practice at Jeonju Call Center, was unable to bear the burden of work and took his life. "Lee Sang-hyun, chairman of the Characterization and other School Rights Association, who met before the awards ceremony on the morning of the 17th, said that despite numerous sacrifices, the poor labor reality of Characterization and students did not change much. After Lee Min-ho's Death, the Ministry of Education announced a plan to abolish the 'employment-linked Field practice' and reduce the training period to three months, but it was nothing more than a urine-type alternative. “The reality of dangerous workplaces has changed little, and only the “time” of being driven into such workplaces has been delayed.”
It was students who suffered damage as Field practice was greatly reduced. As the number of jobs provided to Schools has decreased sharply, the employment path of high School students who have to prepare for employment has been blocked. “What they wanted was to punish companies that didn’t comply with safety rules or the Labor Standards Act, not to eliminate Field practice itself. For those who were about to graduate, it was simply a 'light in the dry sky.' "
The Rights Association has stepped up to represent the voices of these forgotten students. The six major demands were announced, including guaranteeing practical safety and securing a high-quality employment place, and the I Canspeak movement, in which Characterization and students talk about their own experiences, was conducted All states. “The training period has been increased to six months again, and the supplementary measures such as the placement of job support officers and labor attorneys at Schools have been announced.” In July, the Ministry of Education filed a complaint against the reality of Characterization and practice soldering practice without basic protective equipment such as masks in a closed space. All of them have been constantly raising their voices without getting tired.
Currently, the Association of Rights is conducting in-depth interviews with 100 Characterization and students of All states to understand the exact status of youth labor. “Accidents never happen without warning. When we went down to Jeju Island at the time of Lee Min-ho Death and investigated the truth, we found out that there were two similar accidents ahead of the Death of Baro. I wanted to not be aware of the reality before I lost someone again. "Through this survey, which runs until early next year, they will demand related measures in the 21st general election.
