After the accident, a boycott of SPC brands spreads among citizens.
It’s not that they won’t eat the products of companies that treat workers like this, but they won’t be able to eat them.
In fact, if you look at the cases where SPC has treated workers unfairly so far, this accident is identified as ‘predicted talent’.
Reporter Lee Jae-wook reported.

Kim Tae-kyung works part-time at Paris Baguette for 6 hours every weekend.
I also worked last Saturday, and there were no sandwiches in the shop.
I only found out why after watching the evening news.

“I’m the worker who made the sandwiches I got and displayed, and he said he was dead, so of course I felt very bad for him, even though he was a raw man who wasn’t even know his face.”
From that day on, I joined the boycott of the SPC.
“From a sales point of view, it may sound absurd to others, but I thought, ‘I will not use the money I earn in this store on a company that does not treat its employees like people.’
Lists of recent SPC brands are circulating on the Internet.
There are 28 in total.
It is to inform the citizens of the object of the boycott.
The news came that a worker had died and that his fellow workers were doing the work the next day, and that he had distributed promotional materials about the opening of the first Baguette Paris shop in England that day.
The behavior of these companies led to the boycott.
SPC oppression of labor is a thing of the past.
In 2017, it was discovered that Paris Baguette had sent 5,300 bakers to work illegally.
Last year, it was revealed that he had tried to withdraw from a union affiliated with the KCTU, and was investigated by the Ministry of Employment and Labour.
Paris Baguette’s female bakers were aborted one after the other, causing controversy over not guaranteeing a break time.

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