Y'day(12.18) afternoon(KST) in central Seoul:
세계이주민의 날을 맞아 국내 이주노동자들이 한 목소리로 고용허가제 폐지와 사업장 이동의 자유보장을 촉구했다.
이주노동조합, 민주노총 등은 18일 오후2시 서울 광화문광장에서 이주노동자 결의대회를 열고 <10년이 넘도록 고용허가제 폐지해달라 외치고 있지만 관련 법·정책은 하나도 변하지 않았다.>면서 <고용허가제를 폐지해 이주노동자에게 사업장 이동의 자유와 출국 전 퇴직금 지급 등의 노동권을 보장해달라.>고 요구했다.
우다야 라이이주노조위원장은 <고용허가제 개정은 이뤄지지 않고 있는데 사업장에선 노동법까지 무시되면서 착취가 일상화한 실정>이라며 <한국사회에서 이주노동자는 쓰다버리는 물처럼 취급받는다.>고 비판했다.
집회에 참가한 이주노동자들은 자유발언을 통해 박근혜<정부>에 대한 이주노동자정책을 비판하면서 사업장에 대한 근로감독 등을 강화할 것을 촉구했다.
2004년부터 시행된 고용허가제는 외국인노동자에게 국내 노동자들과 동등한 고용조건을 보장하도록 제정된 법률이다.
