[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 28th, Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the Future United Party, criticized the controversy over the conversion of security screening personnel at Incheon International Airport Corporation (IIAC) to regular positions, saying, “Democratic Party member Kim Doo-kwan said that if IIAC security screening personnel were directly employed, their annual salary would be 35 million won, so I thought it was a fact. But it was not true,” and asked, “Is Representative Kim spreading false information to justify his unreasonable argument?”

On the same day, Representative Ha said on Facebook, “I received a tip that Representative Kim’s claim was a lie, so I fact-checked it,” and added, “The annual salary is at least 43 million won.”

He pointed out, “The average annual salary of the 692 security screening personnel already hired by IIAC’s subsidiary as of June 1 and the remaining security screening staff to be hired as of July 1 is 42.85 million won (annual salary 39.85 million won, welfare benefits 3.35 million won),” and said, “Since the salary when hired by the subsidiary is 42.85 million won, if directly employed, it will be higher than this, so it will be at least 43 million won or more.”

He continued, “If Representative Kim lied to rationalize his argument, he should immediately apologize to the youth,” and added, “Reports from young people angered by the 35 million won annual salary remark have not stopped.”

Representative Ha said, “The turnover rate of IIAC subcontractor employees is 1.1% (security and disaster prevention 1.25%), which is one-fifth of the national average (5.8%),” and said, “Jobs that young people already aspire to are now being directly employed. I hope they understand exactly why young people are angry and demanding fair regularization and propose solutions.”
