[🔴라이브] 임금 체불과 먹튀, K자형 양극화의 민낯 (박홍배 국회의원, 안수용 홈플러스 노조 지부장, 강민수 기자, 연다혜 기자)

On one side, an upward curve is drawn, hitting record highs day after day, while on the other, a downward curve plummets without any support. This is a K-shaped graph representing our economy, where polarization is intensifying day by day. Because public opinion focuses entirely on the rising curve, the raw reality of our economy, which ordinary citizens and workers actually face, is often forgotten. Over 3,000 workers employed by the Daeyu Winia group have not received fair compensation for their labor for more than three years. Although a large-scale wage arrears crisis—once thought to be a relic of the past—has occurred, the judicial system, which should be rectifying loopholes and unfair practices, is not functioning properly. If Homeplus, facing bankruptcy, fails to secure funds by the end of this month, up to 100,000 people could lose their jobs. While the financial sector's chronic "hit-and-run" behavior, which prioritizes profit over responsible management, has been identified as the cause of the situation, scheming tactics aimed only at evading the immediate crisis remain noticeable. Tonight at 9 PM, Newstapa Live takes a look at the lower part of the K-shaped graph. Joining us are Reporter Kang Min-soo, who covered the Daeyu Winia crisis; Ahn Su-yong, Head of the Homeplus Branch of the Mart Industry Union under the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) Service Federation, who raised awareness of the Homeplus crisis through a hunger strike; and Representative Park Hong-bae of the Democratic Party of Korea, who is closely examining this issue in the National Assembly. 00:00 [Opening] Start of Newstapa Live and introduction of major issues 00:51 [Part 1] The Daeyu Winia Wage Arrears Crisis and Suspicions of Inadequate Investigation by the Prosecution (Reporter Kang Min-soo, Democratic Party Representative Park Hong-bae) 10:23 Why wasn't an investigation conducted when there is overflowing evidence of Daeyu Winia's slush funds? 20:32 Tracking Suspicions of Chairman Park Young-woo and the Operation of Power Connections 26:28 [Part 2] Surprise Store Closures Begin, On-Site Reality of the Homeplus Crisis 31:55 Private Equity Fund MBK's Predatory Buyout (LBO) and the Crisis on the Livelihood of 100,000 People (Ahn Soo-yong, Homeplus Union Branch Chairman; Park Hong-bae, Democratic Party Lawmaker) 46:35 The Anti-Opaque Private Equity Fund Act and Alternatives to Save Homeplus 56:06 [Ending] Closing Remarks #Newstapa #NewstapaLive #IndependentMedia #newstapa #Nonprofit #UnpaidWages #DaeyuWinia #ParkYoungwoo #KingOfUnpaidWages #SlushFund #HeoHoon #LenientInvestigation #ProsecutionReform #Homeplus #MBKPartners #PrivateEquityFund #EatAndRun #BankruptcyCrisis #LeveragedBuyout #ParkHongbae #AhnSooyong #People'sLivelihoodEconomy ※Music source : Habi Music 👉 Newstapa operates solely on donations from its members, without advertisements or sponsorships.
