Reports of Human Rights Violations and Unfair Treatment Mount Across Society
The reality of sovereignty and human rights not being guaranteed is emerging through reports, including large corporations' failure to refund fees, violations of labor rights, and unfair investigation methods by judicial institutions.
Regarding unfair corporate practices, KT has been confirmed to have collected double charges for phone and internet fees for seven years without issuing refunds. Concurrently, a current KT employee is reporting suffering due to the company's structural abuse of personnel authority and surveillance-oriented labor-management practices.
Poor working conditions and workplace irregularities are also severe. Allegations have been raised regarding the whereabouts of holiday bonuses for 2,500 non-regular workers at the Korea Post Facility Management Corporation. Furthermore, irregularities continue to repeat, such as violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and reports of abusive behavior related to rest area usage at the Magok One Grove construction site.
Distrust in the judicial system is also growing. Claims have been made alleging the prosecution manipulated an indictment, and that an attempt was made to conceal a case where a civilian with no prior record was falsely listed as a suspected drug offender for two years. The police's negligent investigative attitude is also identified as a factor that fuels doubts about the judicial system.
These cases demonstrate that human rights violations and unfair treatment are repeatedly occurring across both public institutions and large corporations. The persistent structural flaws indicate that the rights of citizens remain in a blind spot.
