Claims have emerged that 2 employees at a factory in Daeso-myeon, Eumseong-gun, North Chungcheong Province, attempted to take their own lives one after another.
According the a family member 'A' on the 7th, the two employees who worked at Factory B attempted suicide between November and December last year, and one of them passed away.
A is reported to have discovered call recordings on the deceased's phone that contain indications of workplace harassment.
These employees working at Factory B are said to be affiliated with Company C, an outsourcing company that supplies labor to the factory.
A representative from Factory B said, "The employee who attempted suicide was a dispatched worker, so personnel management is handled by Company C. Please direct your inquiries to them."
In response, a representative from Company C replied, "There was one case where an employee attempted suicide in late November, but there has been no additional case. We are taken aback."
However, A countered that they had met with the family of another employee who attempted suicide to discuss a response. A also claimed that they have evidence that another employee also attempted suicide.
A stated, "There are 4 perpetrators and there is evidence that they harassed my family member and the other employee. We are planning to report this to the Ministry of Employment and Labor soon."
An official from the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) stated, "If the allegations are true, we suspect there is a habitual abuse of power or violations of workplace safety laws. If the family agrees, we will also consider a union-level response."
Factory B produces IV fluids, finished and raw cephalosporin products, and general pharmaceutical raw materials to domestic and overseas markets.
1. [+122][-1] I just can't understand people who bully others even after becoming adults. What is wrong with them? Is playing Iljin at that age really fun? It's so pathetică…ś
2. [+92][-0] It's already hard enough for grown adults to get through a day because of work... And yet they're still out there bullying each other. Their futures must be in the gutter. They aren't kids anymore... Seeing adults act like this is just so pathetic. You'd only understand how it feels if it happened to you.
3. [+85][-2] This is so frustrating. Instead of taking their own lives, they should be taking the perpetrators' lives and turn themselves in to the police. Did they really think the perpetrators even blink an eye when they die? Killing the perpetrators first and confessing to the crime would be a better help to themselves, their families, the society, and the country.
4. [+10][-1] Human trash….
5. [+6][-1] You can just change jobs~ Why die? Even if you want to die, you should at least see it through so there's no injustice left. That company isn't the only place in the world for you to work~ They could've just quit!!
