직장인 80% “기간제 차별”…48% “공정수당, 임금차별 해소 못 해”

According to a recent survey, 80% of employees report experiencing discrimination between regular and temporary workers. The study, conducted by Global Research firm Globeresearch, surveyed 1,000 individuals aged 19 or older across the nation between June 1st and July 7th. Respondents reported that they were unable to freely exercise their legal rights, such as maternity and paternity leave, reporting workplace harassment, and union membership.

Women, unstable workers, and older temporary employees faced more severe discrimination. Only 48.4% believed that the "fair compensation" introduced by the government would resolve the issue of wage disparity between regular and temporary workers. The survey also revealed that 46% of public sector employees felt that the "fair compensation" would not alleviate wage disparity.

The survey's authors criticized the government's proposal to extend the period of temporary employment from two years to four, stating that it would only result in further erosion of workers' rights. They added that extending the use of temporary workers in emergency situations would only exacerbate the problems faced by workers already struggling with discrimination and job insecurity.
