Ha Tae-kyung: "Fair Competition and Abolishing Lifetime Job Security Are the Spirit of Jeon Tae-il"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the People Power Party, emphasized that "fair competition and the abolition of lifetime job security in labor are the spirit of Jeon Tae-il" ahead of the 50th anniversary of the martyr Jeon Tae-il (on the 13th).

On the 12th, Ha stated on Facebook, "Although workers' human rights have greatly improved after 50 years, the reality for the youth whom Jeon Tae-il loved remains bleak."

He expressed concern, saying, "One in four young people who want to work have no jobs. The Labor Standards Act is a luxury for them," and added, "They have to live giving up not only employment but also dating, marriage, childbirth, human relationships, housing, dreams, and hopes."

Ha criticized, "What makes it even harder for the youth is that this is being unilaterally forced within an unfair social structure," and said, "The older generation and labor privileged classes constantly set entry barriers to prevent young people from overcoming them in order to maintain their privileges."

He continued, "Fair competition is impossible from the start. They tightly hold onto their privileges while forcing young people to compete desperately for the small crumbs left to them in this cruel world," and added, "If Jeon Tae-il were here in 2020, he would shout, 'Guarantee fair competition! Abolish privileges! Ensure at least a minimum humane life!'"
