The Korea Ready-Mixed Concrete Industry Cooperative Federation held its 30th regular general meeting at the Riviera Hotel in Seoul on the same day and announced that it conducted a resolution rally urging the postponement of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act for workplaces with fewer than 50 employees.

The resolution rally was attended by 20 regional ready-mixed concrete cooperatives, delegates from the Ready-Mixed Concrete Federation, and about 140 small and medium-sized ready-mixed concrete industry workers. This event was organized to reiterate the request for postponement of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act, which was ultimately shelved despite the appeal of 3,600 small business owners who gathered at the National Assembly on the 31st of last month.

Bae Jo-ung, president of the Ready-Mixed Concrete Federation, said, “No business owner wishes for their employees, who are like family, to get injured. The small and medium-sized ready-mixed concrete industry is in a desperate situation where we have no choice but to call again for the postponement of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act. For effective accident prevention, the National Assembly should listen to the voices of the people and grant us time to prepare through the postponement of the bill.”

The Ready-Mixed Concrete Federation plans to continue efforts such as installing banners urging the passage of the postponement bill for the Serious Accidents Punishment Act at about 500 small and medium-sized ready-mixed concrete factories nationwide.
