By Lee Hae-rin


Following the death of a young worker at a factory affiliated with food and beverage giant SPC, public outrage against the company has been escalating due to its handling of the incident.
식품 및 음료 대기업 SPC 계열사 공장에서 젊은 노동자가 사망한 이후 사고 대처 방식 때문에 기업을 향한 분노가 증가하고 있다.


On Saturday, a 23-year-old female employee at the factory in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province died in an accident in which her upper body was caught in a sauce mixer machine. She was supporting her mother and younger sibling by working at the factory, and aimed to run a Paris Baguette store someday.
토요일 경기도 평택시에 위치한 공장에서 소스 배합기에 상체가 끼이는 사고가 발생해 23세 여성 노동자가 사망했다. 그녀는 공장에서 일하며 어머니와 동생을 부양하고 있었고 언젠가 파리바게뜨 가맹점을 운영하는 것이 꿈이었다.


However, it was revealed that the factory continued to operate two machines on the site of the accident the day after the employee was killed. Also, the factory had another accident a week earlier where an employee's hand was caught in another production line machine but was not sent to the hospital due to their status as a non-regular worker.
그러나 노동자가 사망하는 사고가 일어난 다음 날에도 공장에서 기계 두 개를 계속 작동시켰다는 것이 드러났다. 또 일주일 전 동일 공장 내 다른 생산라인에서 손 끼임 사고가 발생했으나 기간제 노동자라는 이유로 병원에 보내지 않았다는 점도 밝혀졌다.


To condemn SPC's labor practices, a group of labor unionists and general members of the public staged a memorial ceremony in front of the company's headquarters, as well as one-person protests in front of 1,000 Paris Baguette stores, Thursday. The franchise has over 3,400 branches in the country.
목요일 SPC의 노동 관행을 규탄하기 위해 노동 조합원들과 대중들은 SPC 본사 앞에 추모 공간을 마련한 한편 파리바게뜨 가맹점 1000곳 앞에서 1인 시위가 펼쳐졌다. 전국 파리바게뜨 가맹점은 3400여 개 이상이다.


The company has continued to trivialize workers' safety and health, said Yim Min-gyung, a member of the Korean Women Workers Association, which took part in the collective action during the memorial ceremony. About 50 percent of female bakers who become pregnant while employed at SPC experience miscarriages due to excessive labor, and the company put at a disadvantage workers who raise objections by denying them leave, she said.
추모 기간 동안 ‘파리바게뜨 노동자 힘내라 공동행동' (이하 공동행동)에 참여한 한국여성노동자회 소속 임민경 활동가는 SPC가 노동자들의 안전과 건강을 지속적으로 간과했다고 전했다. 임신한 상태로 SPC에서 근무한 여성 제빵기사의 약 50%가 과로로 인한 유산을 겪었고, 퇴사를 거부하면서 이의를 제기하는 직원들에게 불이익을 주었다고 밝혔다.


France's General Confederation of Labor CGT (Confederation Generale du Travail) also expressed regrets about the accident and announced it would join the protest in solidarity at 11:30 a.m. Thursday local time. The union will assemble in front of the Paris Baguette branch in Chatelet, Paris to condemn SPC's inhumane treatment of workers and violations of fundamental human rights. SPC operates five Paris Baguette branches in the French capital, having launched there in 2014.
프랑스의 노동총동맹도 사고에 대해 애석함을 표하며 목요일 오전 11시 30분 (현지시간)에 연대 시위에 참여하겠다고 발표했다. 노동총동맹은 직원들을 비인간적으로 대우하고 기본권을 침해했다는 점을 규탄하기 위해 샤틀레에 위치한 파리바게뜨 가맹점 앞에 모였다. SPC는 2014년 개시 이후 프랑스 수도에 파리바게뜨 점포 5개를 운영 중이다.


Meanwhile, the Seoul Central District Court ruled against the group's protest the day before. According to the court ruling, the union members and organizations cannot hold one-person protests within 100 meters of any SPC store or make someone else do so. Those who violate the ruling are subject to a 1-million-won ($699) fine, the court ruled.
한편 서울중앙지방법원은 하루 전 가맹점 앞 항의 시위를 금지하는 가처분 결정을 내렸다. 판결문에 따르면 노조원과 노조는 SPC 점포 경계로부터 100m 이내에서 1인 시위할 수 없고, 타인을 시위하게끔 만들어서도 안 된다. 이를 위반하는 경우 100만원 이하의 벌금을 선고 받는다.


However, the collective action said the court's ruling is unacceptable and held the nationwide one-person protests as planned.
그러나 공동행동은 법원의 판결을 받아들이기 어렵다고 말하며 예정대로 전국에서 1인 시위를 진행했다.


Meanwhile, the public outrage over SPC is growing, leading to boycotts of not only Paris Baguette but several other SPC-affiliated food and beverage brands. The group operates dozens of food, beverage and dessert brands, including Baskin Robbins, Dunkin Donuts, Shake Shack, and Samlip.
동시에 SPC를 향한 대중의 분노가 증가하며 파리바게뜨를 비롯한 타 SPC 계열의 식품 및 음료 브랜드를 불매하려는 움직임으로 이어졌다. SPC는 배스킨라빈스, 던킨도너츠, 쉐이크쉑과 삼립을 비롯한 여러 식품, 음료 및 디저트 브랜드를 운영한다.
