"최악의 직장 내 갑질"..사실로 드러난 '사망 의혹' / SBS

Anchor The results of the investigation by the Office for Government Policy Coordination into the death of a female firefighter in her 20s, which we reported exclusively, have been released. The bereaved family claimed that the deceased had been under extreme stress right up until her death because her superiors forced her to attend drinking parties, and this has been confirmed to be true. Reporter Bae Seong-jae reports. Reporter [SBS 8 News, October 10: Last October, Ms. A, a female civil servant in her 20s affiliated with the Gwangju Fire Department, took her own life.] The positions of the Gwangju Fire Department and the bereaved family diverged regarding the reason for the firefighter's death. The fire department stated in the resignation letter that "there were difficulties in the relationship with her fiancé, Mr. B," but Mr. B's account was completely different. [Ms. A's Fiancé: A new section chief is coming in. He said that he likes to drink, but you don't really participate in company dinners and that you're not good at drinking.] [She came home and was under immense stress.] Ms. B and the bereaved family requested an internal investigation based on evidence such as the deceased's KakaoTalk messages, but the process did not proceed for over five months. The investigation only began after they notified the Fire Department, the superior agency. The day after SBS exclusively reported on this matter, the Office for Government Policy Coordination began a fact-finding investigation at the direction of President Lee Jae-myung. As a result, the raised allegations, including coercion by superiors to drink and the suppression of the investigation, were confirmed to be true. [President Lee Jae-myung: This is the absolute worst case of workplace abuse of power. They falsely announced it as if it were due to a conflict with a boyfriend, and when we asked for an investigation into it, they just ignored it. They say that all of this has been revealed as true (through the Office for Government Policy Coordination's fact-finding investigation).] The bereaved family emphasized that those involved in the incident must be held strictly accountable. ** [Mother of Ms. A: I hope this serves as an example not only for my daughter but also for others, so that such incidents do not happen to anyone else in the future.] The National Public Service Workers' Union Fire Department also submitted a petition to the police last week requesting an investigation into both the bereaved family and the fire department, and a related investigation is currently underway.
