# "You can eat cake without bread, right?" 

This famous remark is known as the utterance spoken by Queen Louis Antoinette of King Louis XVI of France after hearing appeals from hungry citizens for "no bread." In reality, however, it was said that people who hated the Austrian queen in France were spreading malicious information. Since then, this word has become synonymous with'A story throwing without a concept without understanding the situation'.


# "Students say they're all wearing life jackets, so is it hard to find?"

On April 16, 2014, when all citizens rolled their feet unfortunately, the words that the President, who had to act as the vanguard of the rescue, arrived at the central counter headquarters at 5:15 pm, remain in our memory. This is not a malicious rumor, but the public confirmed it through live TV, so the suspicion about the seven hours of not being able to understand the situation is still growing. Unfortunately, the words that are thrown without a concept without knowing the situation still continue.

# "If you haven't received your wages, you can move to another place..."

Sad news that a migrant worker has been working on a farm in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do for 4 years and 8 months and has been paid more than 3 years has been reported in a news agency recently. Became. That night, when the news was reported, a public official in the Office of the Foreign Workers' Affairs Office of the Ministry of Employment and Labor, the department responsible for hiring foreign workers, hurriedly contacted the writer supporting the migrant worker and said the above. But was this story appropriate?

In principle, migrant workers cannot change workplaces without the consent of the employer. It is not possible to change workplaces unconditionally in the case of wage delinquency. It is only possible to meet certain requirements, but it is not easy for migrant workers to clearly understand and assert these conditions. In the end, in this situation, the reality that the employers treat migrant workers as slaves as slaves, and the reality that it is difficult for migrant workers to actively respond to such impersonal treatment, is continuously known through the media.

Nevertheless, the previous story from a government official in charge of the Foreign Workers' Policy is not much different from the notion of "I can't eat cake without bread...". On the contrary, the official in charge should have thoroughly analyzed why the damage caused by exploitation of labor force for more than three years has failed without attempting to move to another workplace, and showed a determination not to repeat this again. did.


In the end, after this report, which many citizens were angry with, the Ministry of Employment and Labor has not taken any action in such a way as to when it happened. This inexperienced and insincere situation of the competent ministry may be the reason why migrant workers' damage is constantly repeated.

# "If you get sick, you need to rest..."

On May 28, the deputy head of Central Disaster Safety Response Headquarters (Ministry of Health and Welfare) at the Coupang Logistics Center, on May 28, said, "It seems that the quarantine rules in the same workplace were not properly followed." Since Corona 19 occurred, a very natural word'rest when sick' was declared as a precautionary measure. However, most of the distribution center employees were unstable workers.

For workers who had to keep their place even if they were sick for today's livelihood and for tomorrow's work, a quarantine rule like'rest when sick' is a luxury that can only be preserved by giving up on survival.

Workers who go to work without a break will be considered to be citizens without a concept that does not comply with the quarantine rules, but to most citizens who have to live like this, they will not be able to understand the situation properly and throw their words. It is considered a conceptless civil servant.


The Labor Standards Act, which sets the minimum standards for labor, provides only provisions for work injuries or illnesses, and not any standards for sick leave due to personal injury or illness. Prior to blaming citizens for failing to comply with the rules of defense that most citizens can't follow, called'rest when sick', the state is obliged to develop laws and systems to ensure that citizens enjoy common sense rights such as'rest when sick'. Will have to do everything.

There are many words tonight. That can be comforting or hurtful to someone. That's why you have to be careful when you say it, and even more so when it comes to public officials talking to citizens.

I pray that civil servants, whose role is to serve citizens, are more'conceptual, full, and fulfilling' than ever.
