We delivered news of an Nonghyup employee who was separated from her daughter, whom she raised alone, when she was suddenly transferred to a remote island last October for answering the head of the union.

More than two months have passed since then, but I saw her mother and daughter again to see how they were doing.

Last September, a mother in her 40s who was raising her 9-year-old daughter alone and attending Nonghyup was suddenly dispatched to 'Boleumdo', an hour away by boat from Ganghwa Island.



It was because she had spoken to the union leader.



She had to be separated from her daughter on a remote island without an elementary school.



[Last October: (Is it very difficult to live apart from your mom on weekdays?) Yes.

(What is it?) I want to live together.

(How about suddenly no mother on weekdays?) Sad.]



After the SBS report, the personnel appointment was withdrawn within a day, and the Ministry of Employment and Labor also launched an ex officio investigation.



How is the life of her mother and daughter now, two months later?



Her mother, who has been reassigned to her home, has been taking care of her child since this month and taking care of her child's way back to school.



[(Did you have class today at school?) Originally, but because of macarons (making), I didn’t.]



The Ministry of Labor imposed a fine of 3 million won on the union head on the 13th, saying that bullying in the workplace was recognized.



On the surface, it seems that a peaceful daily life has been restored, but the second offensive remarks by the head of the union continued.



Last month, about 120 local Nonghyup representatives gathered.



[Seoganghwa Agricultural Cooperative Association (end of November, Seoganghwa Agricultural Cooperative Representative Assembly): I don't think the employee bows down to me.

I saw it after

What am I doing there?

.]



He doesn't hesitate to say things that he doesn't understand, saying that he should have been compliant even for the sake of the child.



[Seoganghwa Agricultural Cooperative Union President (end of November, Seoganghwa Agricultural Cooperative Federation delegates meeting): If a person with a child was issued by the union president, I was wrong.

I'll do better.

It's the right thing to say like this]



[Mom: Saying that in front of 120 people really stigmatized me...

I was very shocked and now psychiatric treatment...

.]



The head of the union explained that it was only to explain his position and that he did not intend to criticize.



Although her mother is fortunate to be able to live with her daughter, she is also uneasy about the situation after returning to work next March.



[Mom: If I go back, I feel a lot of pressure.

I will continue to live with my child and do my best.]



The National Agricultural Cooperative Federation plans to decide the level of punishment for the head of the cooperative next month and notify it.
