The Labor Party strongly criticized on June 2nd, at the Taean Power Plant of Korea Western Power, asking, "What has changed since Kim Yong-kyun?" in relation to another subcontracted worker being caught in a machine and killed.

At around 2:35 p.m. that day, a 51-year-old subcontracted worker died in an accident where his hand and head got caught in a machine while working on a shelf at the Taean Power Plant. The Labor Party emphasized that the accident occurred at the same power plant where the worker Kim Yong-kyun died in 2018, stating, "After Kim Yong-kyun's death, there was a social agreement to abolish the outsourcing of risks and punish those responsible, but although laws were made, those responsible were not punished."

The Labor Party pointed out, "Although the Act on the Punishment of Major Accidents was enacted, in the trial of the Kim Yong-kyun case, the main contractor, Korea Western Power, and those responsible were acquitted," and criticized, "Ultimately, another subcontracted worker died in the same place in the same way."

They further stated, "The worker who died today could have returned home after finishing a day's work," and said, "We will not just watch how Korea Western Power handles this accident, but will investigate the cause of death and carry out a struggle to identify and punish those responsible."

The Labor Party declared, "We can no longer tolerate electricity and bread mixed with the blood of workers," and emphasized, "We will not stop the struggle to create a society where life is respected and safety is guaranteed."
