Jeonju City Operates Security Guard Human Rights Protection Reporting Center... "Security Guards' Happiness Means Residents' Happiness"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Gominhyeong] Recently, regarding the abuse suffered by apartment security guards, Jeonju City has decided to operate a reporting center to protect the human rights of security guards.

The city announced on the 25th that it plans to protect the human rights of workers and help maintain employment by operating a reporting center for apartment security guards who work in poor conditions.

The reporting center will be operated at Jeonju City Hall and the two district offices, conducting victim interviews and counseling investigations on human rights violations such as verbal abuse, violence, and harsh treatment to proactively prevent human rights infringements, and will support responses according to relevant laws.

To this end, the city will hold meetings with apartment resident representative councils and management office heads to promote the operation of the reporting center and rules for human rights protection.

In addition, the city plans to send official letters for consultation with legal support organizations such as the Korea Legal Aid Corporation to prepare specific support measures.

In the future, the city plans to conduct ethics education for apartment complex presidents and resident representatives on topics such as security guard human rights protection and personnel and labor management.

In February last year, the city enacted the "Jeonju City Ordinance on Employment Stability for Elderly Security Guards," the first in Jeonbuk Province, and in November last year, signed a business agreement for coexistence with apartment security workers together with local housing management companies and resident representatives.

The city is also promoting a project to support the installation of rest facilities so that apartment security guards can live and work in a comfortable and pleasant environment.

A city official from the Ecological City Bureau said, "Since security guards working happily and joyfully ultimately contributes to improving the quality of life of residents, we expect citizens' participation in promoting human rights."
