On the 31st, the MBC headquarters of the National Press Workers' Union said "The position that an objective and accurate fact-finding investigation should be conducted" regarding the alleged workplace harassment of the deceased.
The MBC headquarters of the press union first wishes for the repose of the weatherman Oyoanna and offers sincere words of consolation to the bereaved families"It is important not only to find out whether there has been bullying in the workplace and whether the process of identifying and solving it has progressed properly, but also to look at whether there have been any structural problems with the work of the freelance weatherman."
At the same time, it seems necessary to refrain from taking a provocative and sensational approach because hasty confirmation and speculation can interfere with an accurate fact-finding investigation while the facts are not yet clear.
Regarding this, "Please note that this may not only damage the reputation of the deceased, but in some cases, it may also be a great wound to many unrelated persons."
Finally, "As a colleague who worked with me in the same space, I will share my sadness, and I will try harder to create a healthy and safe workplace to prevent such unfortunate events from happening again."
Oyoanna turned her back on herself in September last year with extreme choices. As it was recently revealed that a large amount of suicide note was found on the deceased's mobile phone, suspicions were raised that the direct cause of death was distress caused by bullying in the workplace.
In this regard, MBC said on the 28th that the deceased worked as a freelancer and never informed the department in charge of his/her grievances (the HR consultation office of the management support office, the audit office clean center) or the managers who worked with him/her"I'm ready to launch a fact-finding mission if the bereaved families request it." made a statement.
On the other hand, the bereaved family "How can MBC not know that his employee has died? There was no obituary" countered.
On the other hand, Kang Myung-il, head of MBC's 3rd union emergency response team, claimed on YouTube on the 28th that there was an MBC weatherman group chat room except for Oyo Anna and one of her colleagues.
The following is a full text of the MBC headquarters of the press union.
The MBC headquarters' position on the report on the cause of death of the late Oyoanna weatherman, etc
The MBC Headquarters of the National Press Workers' Union wishes the rest of the late Oyoanna weatherman and offers sincere condolences to the bereaved families.
The union is in the position that an objective and accurate fact-finding investigation should be conducted into the current situation, which has been controversial since media reports raised suspicions about the death of the deceased. In addition to identifying whether there has been bullying in the workplace and whether the process of identifying and solving it has been done properly, it is also necessary to examine whether there have been any structural problems with the freelance weatherman's work.
However, it seems necessary to refrain from provocative and sensational approaches as premature confirmation and speculation can interfere with accurate fact-finding while the facts are not yet clear. Please note that this may not only damage the reputation of the deceased, but in some cases, it may also be a great wound to a number of unrelated persons.
As a colleague who worked together in the same space, MBC Headquarters will share sadness and work harder to create a healthy and safe work space to prevent such unfortunate events from happening again.
