After the accident, a boycott of SPC brands is spreading among citizens.
It’s not that they don’t eat the products of companies that treat workers in this way, it’s that they won’t be able to eat them.
In fact, if you look at the cases in which SPC has treated workers unfairly, it is pointed out that this accident was a ‘predicted talent’.
Reporter Lee Jae-wook reported.

Kim Tae-kyung works part-time at Paris Baguette for 6 hours every weekend.
I was also working last Saturday, and there were no sandwiches in the store.
It was only following watching the news in the evening that I found out why.

“I am the employee who made the sandwiches that I received and placed on display, and he said that he had passed away, so of course I felt very bad for him, even though he was a man with no face.”
From that day on, I joined the SPC boycott.
“From a sales standpoint, it may sound absurd to others, but I thought, ‘I’m not going to spend the money I earned at this store on a company that doesn’t treat its employees as people.'”
Lists of recent SPC brands are circulating on the Internet.
There are 28 in all.
It is to inform the citizens of the object of the boycott.
The news that a worker died and he had his co-workers do the work the very next day, and the news that the first Paris Baguette store in England was distributed that day.
The behavior of these companies fueled the boycott.
SPC’s repression of labor is a thing of the past.
In 2017, it was discovered that Paris Baguette had illegally dispatched 5,300 bakers to work.
Last year, it was revealed that he had attempted to withdraw from a union affiliated with the KCTU, and was investigated by the Ministry of Employment and Labor.
Paris Baguette female bakers aborted one following another, causing controversy over not guaranteeing break time.

“I heard a lot that the SPC oppresses the union. It’s a very anti-labor company, so it’s not that I don’t eat it anymore, it’s that I can’t eat it.”
Jong-rin Lim, chairman of the labor union, demanded improvement in the working environment and fasted for 53 days last spring, but nothing was resolved.
