Rally denouncing ‘decision on reinstatement of the wrongdoer responsible of sexual harassment’

There has been increasing criticism for the unjust decision on the reinstatement of wrongdoers responsible for sexual harassment. On December 11, 2007, at a news conference, about 30 activists and members from Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, Federation of Korean Trade Unions, Korean Women's Trade Union, and Korean Women Workers Association, and Women Corea protested in front of the National Labor Relations Commission, against the unjust decision of the sexual harassment case occurring at Incheon International Airport.

 

The activists claimed “the decision on the sexual harassment occurring at Incheon International Airport accepted only the statement made by the wrongdoer and mostly ignored special circumstances regarding this sexual harassment case. We suspect the public committee members of the National Labor Relations Commission to be inappropriate and unqualified, so that they should not be involved in making decisions on sexual harassment cases. We demand the National Labor Relations Commission which made this decision on the reinstatement of the wrongdoer responsible for sexual harassment should deprive the public commission members in charge of their qualifications, should increase female commission members's ratios, and show a future plan for upgrading and conducting gender-sensitive perspectives in practice.”
