<기사>Labor and Environment Committee to Adopt Ministry of Employment and Labor Witness on the 26th

The National Assembly's Environment and Labor Committee on the 19th selected Heo Young-in, chairman of SPC, as a witness for the national audit. This is to hold him accountable for the occurrence of a serious accident related to the death of a female worker in her 50s at the SPC affiliate Shani bakery factory.

On the same day, the Environment and Labor Committee held a plenary session and selected Chairman Heo, Lee Hae-wook, chairman of DL Group, and Hong Yong-jun, CEO of Coupang CLS, as witnesses for the comprehensive audit by the Ministry of Employment and Labor scheduled for the 26th.

Earlier, on the 12th, the committee had summoned Lee Kang-seop, CEO of Shani, as a witness for the Ministry of Labor's national audit. However, the opposition party insisted that Chairman Heo should be summoned as a witness, and ultimately, Heo was selected as a witness.

Last year, SPC also experienced a fatal accident at its affiliate SPL bakery factory, where a worker in their 20s died in a crushing accident.

Regarding DL Group, Chairman Lee is expected to be questioned about a fall accident involving a worker from KCC, a subcontractor of DL E&C, at an apartment redevelopment construction site in Yeonje-gu, Busan, in August. CEO Hong of Coupang CLS is likely to be questioned about a recent incident where a delivery driver from a Coupang subcontractor died at a villa in Gunpo-si, Gyeonggi Province.

Additionally, the Environment and Labor Committee decided to request Park Young-woo, chairman of Daeyu Winia, who was absent from the national audit on the 12th due to health reasons, to appear again as a witness for the comprehensive audit on the 26th.
