Although Incheon International Airport Corporation decided to directly hire about 1,900 security screening employees as'Cheongwon Police', the trade unions of various workers working at the airport have different positions, and the'Nono' conflict is growing. .

Right now, the union of regular employees of KNOC opposes the hiring of security screening agents, and there are mixed opinions among the four unions of security screening staff.

In addition, workers in other occupations excluded from employment are complaining about the employment policy.

This time, security screening agents who will be employed directly as petitioners for the petition seem to welcome the decision of the corporation, but looking into the inside, different positions have created different conflicts.

These security screening agents belonged to a single union named'Incheon Airport Security Screening Union'.

However, as the communication method of the union executives emerged as a problem this year, three more unions were created, namely the'security search operation union','security search service union', and'airline security union', which were divided into four.

The number of union members of these unions is the largest among the existing security screening unions, but the remaining three unions maintain a cooperative relationship, making it a majority in terms of total power.

The main difference between the existing unions and the three unions is the composition of union members.

The existing security screening unions are relatively many who joined before May 2017, but most of the three newly created unions are the largest security screening unions since May 2017.

The importance of joining in May 2017 is because President Moon Jae-in visited Incheon International Airport on May 12 of that year and promised to switch to a full-time job, and accordingly, the corporation decided to apply the employment method differently before and after.

Anyone who joins before the declaration of transition to full-time will be hired only after passing the screening, personality test, and interviews through interviews, etc. In fact, it is expected that all will pass.

On the other hand, those who joined after May 2017 must pass the open competition process consisting of document screening, personality test, written test, and interview.

Open competition can be supported by anyone in addition to existing security personnel.

It does not give any points to existing security personnel.

In fact, it is possible to enter the construction only after passing the new bond test, which can result in a significant number of dropouts.

For this reason, those who joined the company before May 2017, including the existing unions, welcomed the transition to direct employment, but those who entered after May 2017, including the security screening service union, ensured employment security of dropping security screening agents. They are dissent to the construction decision.

In addition, some members are moving to move to other unions according to their situation.

In particular, the new security screening service union also has a problem that the construction suddenly changed the method of direct employment.

Initially, KDHC plans to convert security screening agents to subsidiary employees first, and then hire them directly after changing the Incheon International Airport Corporation Act.

In this case, there is no discrimination among security screening agents according to the time of employment, etc., and few dropouts occur.

The security screening service union has agreed to this method, but the existing unions have objected that it is unknown when the law will be revised.

In this situation, the conflict between unions exploded when the corporation suddenly decided to introduce a direct employment method for the identity of'Cheongwon Police'.


The most objectionable to the company's direct employment policy is the Incheon International Airport Corporation Labor Union (Incheon Airport Union), which is composed of full-time employees.

As of the end of 2019, the total number of regular full-time employees at construction is 1,480.

As planned, more than 1,900 security screening personnel are hired directly as petition police, surpassing the number of existing employees.

In this case, they are concerned that the number of union members will be lost and that union leadership may be lost.

The regular employees of the corporation are worried that when the petition of the petition comes in, they can damage the existing union members while demanding an equal wage system or a series of office work.

For this reason, the Incheon Airport Union plans to fight publicly by requesting a public interest audit and filing a constitutional appeal for this decision.

An official from a union of regular workers at the corporation said, "If they are hired as petition police and they occupy the first union and demand equal treatment with existing regular workers, the damage will be suffered by the existing employees." It can be."

Meanwhile, workers in similar positions who have already decided to switch to full-time subsidiaries are also agitated.

Security guards with similar personalities to security screening agents are typical.

1,729 security guards will move to Incheon Airport Security, a subsidiary of Incheon Airport, during this month.

These security guards asked the Corporation to hire a petition police officer, but the Corporation objected to this, and eventually agreed to a full-time subsidiary conversion at the 3rd Labor-Management Expert Association, which has been held since last year.

However, when the construction security officers decided to hire only the'Petition Police' method, the Incheon Airport Regional Branch of the Public Transport Union of the Democratic Trade Unions joined by the security guards made a statement yesterday (24th). Despite the fact that the position had been changed in the opposite direction as before, no prior consultation with us was in progress," he said. "The security workers in Incheon Airport, who act as police officers with weapons, belong to subsidiaries."

They said, "Rather than the agreement that guarantees equal treatment between the employment and subsidiaries, the rumors are lush, as if the improvement in treatment is better for only the employment converts. "We urge urgent consultation with workers' representatives." Asked.
