Banolim suffers setback in leukemia talks

Banolim, a civic group representing the interests of former Samsung Electronics employees who died of leukemia after working at the company's chip facilities, suffered a setback in its efforts to promote its demands to the foreign media.

This came after Samsung Electronics decided to pay 100 billion won for the establishment of a compensation panel.

Banolim, led by Hwang Sang-ki whose young daughter died from acute leukemia in 2007, had planned to hold a press conference at the Seoul Foreign Correspondents' Club (SFCC), downtown Seoul, Friday.

However, it drew little attention from the foreign media.

Banolim said upon request by the SFCC, Hwang planned to give a briefing on the current situation for about 15 minutes and to answer questions from foreign reporters via translators.

SFCC said it didn't cancel the press meeting, but had delayed it indefinitely.

This is a major blow to the civic group because the group planned to use the conference as leverage to press Samsung Electronics for more compensation from the talks, officials said.

"The failed attempt by Banolim will undercut its position on the ongoing compensation talks with Samsung," said one official.

The cancellation came after an independent mediation committee led by a former Justice Kim Ji-hyung asked all interested parties to hold a closed-door meeting, a move aimed at narrowing differentiation over the amount of compensation Samsung Electronics should pay, on October 7.

Banolim said it welcomed Samsung's decision to spend 100 billion won as seed funding for compensation.

But the civic group asked Samsung to advance the process via a public foundation, a condition which Samsung Electronics can't accept.

"We are seeing heated debate about key issues. As a mediator, the committee needs to find breakthroughs," said the mediation committee in a statement, Thursday.

It said the upcoming meeting will cover review procedures.

Samsung Electronics earlier established its compensation committee comprising of seven members to resolve the issue.

Samsung said its committee will have four experts in labor law, industrial medicine and social policies, as well as three members representing the workers.


삼성 백혈병 가족대책위 "신속한 보상 바란다"

'내주부터 보상위에 신청할 것'…'임금산정 현실화' 요구

삼성직업병가족대책위원회(이하 가대위)는 13일 '삼성전자 반도체 백혈병 문제는 피해자와 가족이 주체'라며 '오래 지연돼온 문제가 신속히 해결되는 것이 중요하며 그 출발은 보상이 돼야 한다'고 밝혔다.

가대위는 최근 삼성전자의 보상위원회 발족에 대한 입장에서 '양측 소통이 원활하지 못한 면이 있었다. 하지만 보상위를 통한 해결이 가장 신속한 방안이라는데 의견을 모았고 가대위 법률대리인이 보상위원으로 참여하게 된 것'이라고 말했다.

가대위는 이어 '삼성전자가 8월3일 발표한 회사 입장문에서 미취업 보상과 위 로금의 산정 기준으로 제시한 평균임금을 현실화하라'면서 '해당 퇴직자의 퇴직시 직급과 동일한 현시점 직급 급여 또는 퇴직후 현재까지의 임금인상률을 반영한 급여 가운데 높은 쪽을 적용할 수 있게 해달라'고 요구했다.

이런 기준은 삼성전자 퇴직자 외에 협력사 퇴직자에게도 적용할 것을 요청했다.

조정위가 권고안에서 제시한 2011년 1월1일 이전 입사자뿐 아니라 그 이후 입사자라도 발병시 보상방안을 수립하라고 요구했다.

가대위는 '삼성전자 출연기금 중 가능한 많은 부분이 보상에 사용되도록 해야 한다'면서 '보상위의 실행 과정이 조정위 권고안의 취지를 최대한 존중해 이뤄지도록 할 것이며 조정위에 감사의 뜻을 전한다. 다만 신속한 해결을 위해 당사자간의 대화와 타결 노력이 우선돼야 하고 조정위는 해결 노력을 돕는 조력자 역할을 해주길 기대한다'고 덧붙였다.

가대위 관계자는 이와 관련 '보상위가 보상 절차를 시작하는대로 이르면 다음 주 보상 신청을 진행할 수 있을 것'이라고 말했다.

앞서 삼성전자는 지난 3일 노동법, 산업의학, 사회정책 분야 전문가 위원 4명과 가대위 대리인, 회사측, 근로자대표 등 7명으로 구성된 보상위를 발족했다.

보상위는 조정위 권고안을 바탕으로 삼성전자가 지난달 3일 발표한 보상안의 세부항목을 검토해 보상기준을 정하는 등 보상의 전 과정을 총괄하게 된다. (연합뉴스)
