940 employees of the consignment company of the KCTU demanded direct employment from the corporation
“I’m already a full-time private company”…靑 Opinion against the petition bulletin board
940 employees of the National Health Insurance Service Customer Center went on strike on the 1st. They insisted that they, who are workers belonging to the private consignment companies of the Health Insurance Corporation, should be directly employed by the Health Insurance Corporation. There are concerns that if the Health Insurance Corporation cannot overcome the pressure and decide to hire directly, it may become the’second incident of Incheon International Airport Corporation’. As a result of a massive strike, the phone connection to the Health Insurance Corporation’s customer center was not available or delayed, causing great inconvenience to health care subscribers.
940 members of the National Health Insurance Customer Center Branch of the KCTU public transport union started a strike that day and held a rally in front of the headquarters of the Wonju Health Insurance Corporation in Gangwon-do. 940 people accounted for 58% of the 1623 customer center employees. Ten of the 11 companies entrusted with customer center work from the Health Insurance Corporation took part in the strike. Metanet M Platform, UniS, Hyosung ITX, J&B Consulting, Jeniel, Hunect, KTis, Will & Vision, EK-Man Power, and Korea Corporation. One place that did not join the strike is GreenCS.
“According to the government’s policy to become a regular employee in the public sector, according to the government’s policy to become a regular employee in the public sector, private consignment companies that perform continuous work are also subject to regular employment.” The strike was inevitable,” he said. The Health Insurance Corporation said, “It is obvious that fixed-term workers belonging to the Corporation are subject to conversion to regular employees, but direct employment of workers from private consignment companies is completely different in nature.”
Young men and others who are preparing to join a public corporation oppose the direct hiring of the Health Insurance Corporation. On the 29th of last month, on the bulletin board of the Blue House National Petition, a message was posted saying,’I oppose the direct employment of employees of the National Health Insurance Service’s customer center’, and more than 3,000 consented opinions ran within four days.
The inconvenience of health subscribers is increasing. Jeong Mo, who runs a self-employed business in Mapo-gu, Seoul, exclaimed, “I made more than five calls to the customer center from 10 am to inquire about health insurance premiums, but I can’t connect.”
