Taxi employment

In connection with the case of taxi workers in their 50s who burned themselves to death by insisting on the establishment

Of a full monthly salary system for corporate taxis, labor organizations, and others demanded that

“the Ministry of Employment and Labor immediately conduct special labor supervision on all corporate taxi companies.

” The site’s appeal is that even after the abolition of the “private payment system,” which was cited as the cause

Of long and dangerous driving, no actual improvement in the working environment was made due to the expedient operation of taxi companies.

The Public Transport Workers’ Union and the Labor Party held a press conference in front of the Seoul Regional

Employment and Labor Office on the morning of the 5th and condemned, “The Ministry of Employment and

Labor did not supervise on-site work even once despite several complaints from Bang Young-hwan

(Hae Sung Transportation, Taxi Branch of the Public Transport Workers’ Union),” adding

“The biggest responsibility for Bang’s self-immolation lies with the Ministry of Employment and Labor, ignoring the current situation.

” Bang, a 15-year taxi worker, attempted to set himself on fire in front of Haesung Transport, his corporate taxi company

On the 26th of last month, ahead of the Chuseok holiday, demanding the settlement of overdue wages

And the implementation of a full monthly salary system. He is in critical condition with more than 70% of his entire body burned.

In the past, the corporate taxi industry implemented a payment system, in which taxi workers paid

part of their daily profits (about 140,000 won) to the company and took the remaining money.

The company’s payment was abolished in 2020 as criticism continued that the system drove taxi workers to long, night, and dangerous driving.

The following year, the full monthly salary system was introduced, starting with the Seoul Metropolitan Government for the first time.

The intention was to ensure a stable minimum income by applying the minimum wage and 40 hours a week as prescribed working hours.

But the reality is very different, the union claims. It is said that the situation of paying the company’s

Payment remains the same due to the emergence of a similar company payment system

And it is rare to fully recognize 40 hours a week and pay salaries. 스마트스토어상위노출

“Corporate taxi workers are still suffering from long hours of work for more than 10 hours a day

And most corporate taxis in Seoul pay wages based only on the actual ride time, which is the passenger’s ride time

Of 3 hours and 30 minutes a day,” participants at the press conference said.

“Doesn’t it mean that travel time to pick up passengers and to the garage is not working time?

” This is a clear violation of the Labor Standards Act and the Taxi Power Act,” he claimed.

According to the labor union, Bang also worked for more than 6 hours and 40 minutes (40 hours a week)

Per day due to employment rules but received around 1 million won per month

Which is less than the minimum wage, according to the company’s collective agreement, which is based on 3 hours and 30 minutes per day.

They said in a statement, “The Ministry of Labor, which has overlooked the violations of the Minimum Wage Act, the Labor Standards Act

And the Taxi Industry Development Act by taxi owners for more than two years, is also the cause of the

Self-immolation of the branch chairman, Bang Young-hwan,” adding, “The Ministry of

Labor should find out the evasion and expediency of taxi owners who are bent on profits right

Now and eradicate long-term low-wage labor of taxi workers.”
