In January, the Ministry of Labor announced a legislative amendment to the rules on occupational safety and health standards (Article 566) that requires "more than 20 minutes of rest within every two hours" when working in a working environment with a wind chill of 33 degrees Celsius or higher, but the rules have not yet been implemented as the Regulation Reform Committee opposes it.
The Regulation and Reform Commission recommended the Ministry of Labor to withdraw the mandatory heat wave rest clause on April 25 with the aim of "putting excessive burden on permanent workplaces." The Regulation and Reform Commission recommended the withdrawal again on May 23 despite the Ministry of Labor's request for re-examination. Without the recommendation to withdraw from the Regulation and Reform Commission, the rule could have been implemented last month before the case of heat wave deaths began in earnest.
(Mandating heat wave rest) is a matter directly related to the lives of the people, which is more important than anything else, Acting President Kim said. "We urge the committee to wake up and take a proactive review." He also urged the Ministry of Employment and Labor to provide thorough on-site guidance and inspection.
The Ministry of Labor has requested a third review of the mandatory heat wave rest clause to the Regulatory Commission, and the Regulatory Commission will accept it and proceed with a retrial on the same day. However, even if the mandatory heat wave break passes the review by the Regulation and Reform Committee on the same day, the clause applies only to workers under the Labor Standards Act, leaving special types of employment workers such as delivery and delivery workers as a square of heat wave measures.
Acting Kim hinted at supplementary legislation in the future, saying, "We will prepare and promote party-level measures such as legislation so that the principle of two-hour labor and 20 minutes rest can be established."
I really want to take a double bath.
It prevents companies from taking a 20-minute break for two hours outside in this weather.
And if a person dies, are you willing to be punished for murder?
I don't know if you go out and work for a day yourself and say that nonsense.
Civil servants do not intend to work for the people,
I'm only trying to represent the interests of a company,
The representatives of the people, the members of the National Assembly, will legislate for the people
I can't help but be angry that I'm acting like I'm blocking it.
Two hours and 20 minutes is 10 minutes per hour.
Don't you think you shouldn't do business if you can't take that time off?
Or shouldn't we think about making the subcontractor's payment a reality?
Indeed, after the power of the people comes to power, the level that used to be at the bottom of the civil service seems to hit the groundwater layer.
Please stop sitting at your desk and doing this ridiculous policy.
