(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kang Min-kyung = On the 22nd, the Environmental Labor Committee of the National Assembly called for representatives of companies such as POSCO and GS E&C and held the first ever’industrial accident hearing’.

At the hearing, representatives of nine companies that have frequently suffered industrial accidents in the last two years in the construction, courier, and manufacturing industries were present as witnesses.

Except for the audit of the state administration, it is rare for a representative of a large company to appear as a witness to the National Assembly. The situation in which the power of the people, a conservative opposition party, led the holding of an industrial accident hearing is also unusual.

On this day, the representatives of the nine companies who appeared at the hearing chairman, who came to the hearing hall, bowed again and promised to prevent the recurrence of industrial accidents.

At the beginning of the hearing, inquiries from the opposition lawmakers focused on POSCO CEO and Chairman Choi Jeong-woo, who issued a letter of reasons for non-attendance due to a lumbar sprain.

Rep. Kim Woong, who became the first questioner, asked, “Chairman, are you okay with your back?” Was sarcastic.

Rep. Kim said, “Even if your back hurts, it’s so hard, how painful it would be if you died by being squeezed by a roller?”

Rep. Lee Won-ja, who led the hearing as a secretary of the people’s power, also shouted, “It hurts even if you put a thorn under your nail, but when you see the dead workers, you can’t speak because they are choked,” and said, “Isn’t it necessary to politely apologize to them?” Hit.

Chairman Choi bowed his head and apologized, saying, “My thoughts were short. I’m sorry. I will make a safe site.”

In addition, Democratic Party lawmaker Mi-hyang Yoon criticized, “Looking at the anger of POSCO workers and the public, the president’s last three years are likely to be evaluated as three failed years.” Chairman Choi, who had been silent for a while, replied, “I will accept it humbly.”
