|
Gangdong-gu, Seoul, has been selected as a place where teenagers can work safely. Gangdong-gu announced on the 17th that it will select 19 businesses at the "Gangdong-gu Public-Private Consultative Body for the Protection of Youth Labor Human Rights" and deliver the certification signboard on September 1st. Since last year, Gangdong-gu has selected and supported "Youth Part-time Workplaces" to protect youth's working rights and improve the working environment. “Workplaces where teenagers can work safely” must meet five certification standards, including preparation of labor contracts and compliance with the minimum wage. The criteria include payment of weekly holiday allowances, a guarantee of personal treatment, and recommendation of youth part-timers. Among the places that met the standards, business sites that are teenage-friendly will be selected based on a second field survey. The field survey will be accompanied by a youth labor rights protection team that has received professional training from an authorized labor attorney. 12 businesses were selected last year, and 19 businesses were selected this year. The survey has been conducted for two months since June, and the results are based on field surveys of 23 businesses that meet five certification standards and were recommended by 164 teenage workers. Gangdong-gu plans to deliver a certification signboard to these businesses on the 1st of next month so that teenagers looking for jobs can refer to it. Mayor Lee Jung hun said, "Youth's human rights are natural rights to be guaranteed by labor law, and I think it is unfortunate that our society does not do so. We will make more efforts to protect the rights of teenage workers who are working under poor conditions through the Youth Part-Time-Friendly Workplace Certification Project.”Gangdong-gu, Seoul, has been selected as a place where teenagers can work safely.
