[In-it] Albasaeng at a convenience store who died for 20 won

A convenience store, an essential space for modern people.

Annual sales of 25 trillion.

Daily transaction amount of 70 billion.

10 million visitors per day.

Starting with the first Jamsil store in 1988, there are currently 44,000 convenience stores illuminating the nation's night...

Korea, the country with the largest number of convenience stores compared to the population.

This is an explanation of the'convenience store' written in the planning intention of the popular SBS drama'Convenience Store Saetbyul'.

Convenience stores are now very familiar to citizens living in Korea, as the place of convenience stores becomes the subject of drama planning.

We visit convenience stores several times a day, not only to purchase daily necessities, but also to receive parcel delivery and pay utility bills.

Convenience stores are playing a role as an'all-round complex living base'.

I also remember the warming of our hearts with stories that happened at the convenience store.

There was a story of young men who saw the clerk being threatened with a weapon and used their wits to stop the robbery.

The convenience store clerk escaped the risk of being seriously damaged.

At that time, the situation-capturing 

convenience store was a story of young people who prevented robbery damage by using a familiar space and wit enough to become the subject of drama planning…

.

However, the space called a convenience store is not a place where only warm stories are told.

This is because the threat is everyday for part-time workers who have to keep a convenience store alone at night.

According to statistics over the last five years, 300 violent crimes and nearly 2,000 violent crimes per year occurred at convenience stores.

On December 14, 2016, four years ago, at 3:30 am, a part-time worker who was working alone at night in a convenience store in Gyeongsan, Gyeongsangbuk-do was stabbed to death while struggling with a drunkard.

The reason for fighting was that plastic bags were not provided to drunk guests for free.

'Receive 20 won in plastic bags' was the policy of the affiliate headquarters at that time.

After this incident, voices were raised that the affiliated headquarters was responsible for the safety of convenience store workers.

Convenience store workers have no direct employment relationship because they sign a labor contract with the convenience store owner (merchant business operator) rather than the franchise headquarters, but voices that the franchisee should take responsibility for the poor working environment that is vulnerable to violent and violent crimes.

In particular, the convenience store cashier was on the cutting board.

The Albanian worker at the checkout counter where the entrance and exit are not separated and there is no escape to escape even if he knows in advance of the violent crime.

The victim, who died in Gyeongsan, was also stabbed and killed at the cash register.

In Article 11 of the franchise (convenience store business) standard contract recommended by the Fair Trade Commission, stores (facilities and interiors) are to be installed at the expense of the franchise headquarters, and franchisees can change the interior without prior approval from the franchise headquarters. Because it was not allowed, the voice was encouraged to provide a safe working environment for workers working in convenience stores.

As public opinion raged, the affiliated headquarters announced that on May 15, 2017, five months after the incident, the first in the industry to open a safety convenience store that greatly enhanced the'prevention of crime and safety accidents'.

It was said that an evacuation passage was created and a safety bar was installed.

However, at the time, civic groups and others expressed this position, saying that they could not be relieved at the'first convenience store'.

"There are still more than 9999 CU convenience stores with the exception of No. 1, and Alba workers and franchisees maintain a working environment that can never be relieved, and it is impossible to know when the environment will improve."

So today, in 2020, are convenience stores safe?

In July of this year, a media outlet reported that more than half of the workers in the convenience store had experienced violent language and assault.

There were testimonies that he was beaten with boiling ramen for not teaching him how to use the microwave properly or with an umbrella to steal cash.

Four years have passed since a young man working at a convenience store died.

After the incident, there was also a discussion meeting on'safety measures for health conditions at night.

There were also pledges by the president to'strengthen civil and criminal responsibilities at workplaces with frequent accidents and industrial accidents', and'enact a severe accident corporate punishment law that asks for the responsibilities of corporations and public institutions as negligence in case of serious accidents such as deaths of workers'.

However, there is still no news that the'Relief Convenience Store No. 2'has been established, nor that the severe disaster corporate punishment law has been enacted.

The Republic of Korea in 2020 is only hearing unfortunate news from over 150,000 convenience store clerks who are still in an unsafe working environment.

The 4th anniversary of the death of an Alba worker at a convenience store in Gyeongsan CU, faced with the reality that the mother of a worker who has been killed by industrial accidents has to fight for hunger for the enactment of the Severe Accident Corporate Penalty Act in the Republic of Korea, which is said to be more valuable than the world.

The heart is heavy.
