“663 million small and medium-sized businesses are very anxious.”
The small and medium-sized business community visited the National Assembly as their first foreign move in 2021 and emphasized the number of ‘663 million’. On the 4th, five heads of related organizations, including the President of the Small and Medium Business Administration, Kim Ki-moon, met with the representatives of the opposition and opposition parties. Chairman Kim and others urged us to reconsider the enactment of the Severe Accident Corporate Punishment Act (Severe Accident Act) that defines business owners as potential offenders. The Severe Accident Act contains content that can restrain business owners in the event of an industrial accident or death.
6.63 million votes protest in the mid-sized industry in search of political circles
On this day, the heads of the mid-term group met with representatives from the opposition parties such as Tae-nyeon Kim (Democratic Party) and Ho-young Joo (Power of the People) and emphasized 6.63 million from their greetings. It is analyzed that this is to press the politicians sensitive to votes with the number of votes ahead of the April by-election in Seoul and Busan mayors. The SMEs explained that the number of 6.63 million includes SMEs, related companies, and their families. An official from the Small and Medium Business Administration said, “If the National Assembly pushes forward the severe disaster law while noticing public opinion, shouldn’t we, too, suggest that there are many voters who will turn their backs because of this bill?”

The management community, including the SMEs, believe that both the opposition parties are pursuing the Severe Disaster Act aiming at anti-business sentiment. Kim Jong-in, Chairman of the People’s Power Emergency Response Committee, met with Democratic Party President Lee Nak-yeon on the 30th of last month and said, “Please refrain from submitting bills emotionally,” but the management community has made the bill handling a pre-determined fact. I see it.
99% of the mid-term is sensitive to four shares = representative, representative arrest
The analysis that the SMEs’ strong opposition to the Severe Accident Act is related to the structure of SMEs, where most of the owners are the representatives. In fact, this is the first time that the Small and Medium Business Administration has expressed its own opposition to various economic-related bills of the National Assembly. Last year, when discussing the ‘3rd Corporate Regulation Act’ (Commercial Law, Fair Trade Law, and Financial Group Supervision Law), they opposed the opinion, but only participated in a press conference led by the Korea Employers Federation. An official of the Small and Medium Business Administration said, “The Major Disaster Act is different from other regulatory laws.” Said.
The first place the mid-term group leaders visited on this day was the Democratic Party. Senior Vice President Kim Young-jin, who was in charge of the meeting, said in his greeting, “I will make sure that the Democratic Party will be a big supporter in enacting the Severe Disaster Act so that it can be properly applied to the whole people by collecting opinions from all walks of life.” At the meeting with the power of the people that followed, Ho-young Joo said, “We all agree on the goal of reducing the number of deaths from industrial accidents, but our opinions on how to do so are different.” “For the serious accident law, the constitutional over-legislation or the principle of responsibility “We are approaching that there should not be a legislative contrary to this.” Still, “I will legislate… “We are preparing to avoid asking companies for unexpected responsibilities,” he added.

The medium-sized industry is aiming for the first purpose of not passing this law at the extraordinary National Assembly that ends on the 8th. Mid-term Central Chairman Kim Ki-moon emphasized, “99% of small and medium-sized companies are the owners of their owners. If the representative is arrested, even if an accident occurs, the company will go bankrupt.” “It is impossible for one representative to manage and take responsibility for various construction sites nationwide,” said Kim Young-yoon, president of the Korea Construction Specialist Association. “If an accident occurs due to a representative’s fault, it is already excluded from receiving orders for government projects. Said.
