″In the case of such men, who fit the purpose of our employment insurance, suddenly, for a long time, such men come with a dark expression. Then, while receiving unemployment benefits, I will travel abroad. And with my own money, I enjoy buying Chanel sunglasses or clothes that I mightn’t buy when I was working. So, when we thought regarding it, isn’t this not the case… ″

″Attendants agreed on the principle that the deformed unemployment benefits, which receive less for those who work, should be changed. We agreed that unemployment benefits should not be misused and the word “syrup pay” meaning sweet bonus should not come out. The Democratic Party and the government agreed that it is necessary to improve the system so that the unemployed can quickly find a job once more. Accordingly, it was pointed out that the current unemployment benefit system, due to the high minimum wage system that pays 80% of the minimum wage and the overly generous requirements for unemployment benefit payment, is creating a distorted short-term contract practice that repeats short-term employment and unemployment benefit receipt. As a result, it was pointed out that the labor shortage in small and medium-sized enterprises is aggravating, and the re-employment rate during the period of receiving unemployment benefits was only 28% in the case of last year because they did not actively seek employment while receiving unemployment benefits. Fundamental system improvements are needed, including lowering or abolishing the lower limit on unemployment benefits.″

Opposition parties oppose the policy of ‘cutting unemployment benefits’

[권칠승/더불어민주당 수석대변인]

″The Yoon Seok-yeol government and the people’s power are pushing for lowering or eliminating the lower limit of unemployment benefits. It is the second labor reform of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration as a follow-up to the promotion of the 69-hour week extension. Unemployment benefit fraud must be prevented. However, if the method harms workers who receive unemployment benefits legitimately, it is a transformation under the guise of reform. We need to improve the reality that workers’ monthly income is less than 80 % of the minimum wage level. The Yoon Seok-yeol government and the ruling party establish measures following properly figuring out the cause. And please listen to the stories of the various layers. You can never make a good policy by listening only to biased opinions.″

[김희서/정의당 수석대변인]

″The Power of the People Labor Reform Special Committee announced that it would even consider lowering or abolishing the lower limit of unemployment benefits. The power of the people, who have never properly looked for a job in an unstable labor market and have not received unemployment benefits once, are talking regarding policies under the wind of an air conditioner saying they will reform labor, so the results are obvious. I urge you to change the twisted perspective of seeing workers suffering from precarious labor only as those who avoid looking for a job and have fun with illicit supply and demand, without looking back at the policy failures that put the national economy and people’s livelihood into crisis and created unstable jobs and unstable workers. . I want you to stop playing on YouTube and tabletop, and look straight at the labor and livelihoods and do something. To be sure, there is no worker who wants to live an unstable life with unemployment and live on the sweetness of unemployment benefits.”
