면담에 참여한 피해직원들 중 2명은 현재 휴직 중임에도 피해 사실을 알리기 위해 참석해 지난 6년간의 피해 사실을 전달했고, 이 과정에서 일부 직원은 설움에 복받쳐 피해 사실을 언급하기도 전에 오열하기도 했다.
지난 창원시청에서 가진 기자회견을 통해 차마 밝힐 수 없었던 피해 사실도 추가 폭로되었는데, ‘여자 화장실 1칸을 1명의 여직원이 전용으로 사용하면서 전화로 떨어진 휴지를 주워라’고 지시하는가 하면, 운영사 팀장을 ‘그 XX 오라고 해, 그 X 어디갔어’ 등 차마 흉내내기도 힘든 욕설로 직원들을 폄훼하고, 업무 오류나 착오시에는 ‘담당자의 불찰, 또는 담당자의 잘못, 귀책사유’라는 문구를 명시해야지만 문서를 받아주었다는 사실을 말할 때에는 피해직원들이 눈물을 흘리기도 했다.
사무실 복도를 지나가다 시행사 직원을 만나기가 두려웠고 지금도 업무전화번호 ‘46XX 또는 46XX’가 전화기에 표시되면 가슴이 두근거리고, 심장이 뛴다며 그간의 고통을 호소했다.
또한, 지난 창원시청에서 가진 기자회견 직후 마산아이포트(주)가 여자 화장실 전용사용 화장실 비품을 모두 회수하였고, 복도 CCTV 2개 중 1개도 철거하는 등 보도관련 증거 사실을 은폐하려는 시도도 있어 보인다면서 철저한 조사가 필요함을 재차 전달했다.
면담을 통해 정 의원은 사태가 매우 심각하며 이는 사회 윤리적인 패륜적 행위이며, 피해직원들이 앞으로의 사회생활과 정신건강 등을 위해 심리상담을 받아 볼 것을 권유하면서 본인도 비정규직 노동자 출신으로 공감과 피해직원의 빠른 회복을 위한 응원의 메시지도 덧붙였다.
직원들은 지난 9월 3일 마산아이포트(주) 갑질 규탄 기자회견 이후 시행사가 운영사에 대해 공식적 비공식적 사과나 조치없이 무대응으로 일관하고 있을 뿐 아니라, 오히려 기자회견 이후 시행사 임원이 운영사 직원에게 “어떻게 그런 엄청난 일을 저지를 생각을 했냐”는 말을 하면서, “단단히 각오해야 할꺼다”라고 말하고 있어 2차 가해가 우려된다고 걱정하면서 조속한 진상조사와 그에 상응하는 처벌과 조치가 있어야 함을 정혜경 국회의원에게 전달했다.
현재 피해직원들이 국가인권위원회에 진정한 결과가 모두 고용노동부(상담센터) 등으로 도움을 받으라는 답변을 받았으나 고용노동부는 동일 직장 내 괴롭힘을 담당업무 소관으로 하고 있어 원청과 하청, 시행사와 운영사 등의 회사 간 직원 갑질행위가 법의 사각지대에서 보호받지 못하고 있으므로 이를 국회에서 논의될 수 있도록 각별히 요청하였고, 이에 정 의원은 유사한 사례가 국회에서 논의 중에 있어 입법 과정을 관심 있게 지켜보고 있다고 답변했다.
마산신항운영(주)는 2024년 10월 2일 공정거래위원회에 ‘불공정거래행위 신고’를 하였고 공정거래위원회에 불건전거래행위와 하도급거래공정화에 관한 법률위반 건으로 부산지방공정거래사무소 하도급과와 경쟁과에 각각 신고사건으로 정식 접수되어 조사관이 조사 중에 있음을 회사 측 관계자가 밝혔다.
직원과의 면담을 마친 후 정 의원은 운영사 마산신항운영(주) 노승철 대표이사를 만나 피해직원 면담 내용을 공유하고, 노 대표는 “직원들의 고통을 면밀하게 챙기지 못했지만 직원들의 피해 내용이 해소되고 재발방지 조치가 이루어져 더 이상의 피해가 없도록 끝까지 책임을 지고 챙겨나갈 것임을 확실히 하면서 우선 피해직원들의 상담치료부터 챙겨보겠다”고 말했다.
노 대표는 지난 7월 10일 마산아이포트(주) 대표이사로부터 운영사 영업담당 직원을 빼앗아 가려고 한 시도에 대해 시행사 대표이사 차원에서 한 결정이 아니고, 대주주인 HDC그룹 차원에서 결정된 일이라고 들은 사실을 근거로 HDC그룹의 비호가 있었는지에 대한 여부도 철저히 조사해 줄 것을 정 의원에게 요청했다.

Rep. Jeong Hye-kyung meets with employees who were victims of bullying at Masan I-Port Co., Ltd.
Rep. Jeong “Promises to establish measures at the National Assembly level”
On the 26th, Rep. Jeong Hye-kyung of the Justice Party, a member of the National Assembly Environment and Labor Committee, judged that the recent bullying and human rights violations by Masan I-Port Co., Ltd., the operator of Masan Gapo New Port Terminal, and its operator, Masan New Port Operation Co., Ltd., were serious and met with 12 victims in person for over an hour.
Two of the victims who participated in the interview were currently on leave, but they attended to report the abuse and told the story of the past six years, and during this process, some employees were overcome with sorrow and began to sob before even mentioning the abuse.
Additional facts of damage that could not be revealed through the press conference held at Changwon City Hall were also revealed. For example, one female employee was instructed to “pick up the tissues that fell on the phone while using one of the women’s restroom stalls exclusively,” and the management team leader was disparaged with swear words that were difficult to imitate, such as “Tell that XX to come, where did that XX go?” When talking about the fact that in the case of work errors or mistakes, the phrase “the manager’s oversight, or the manager’s fault, the reason for the fault” had to be clearly stated before documents were accepted, the victimized employees shed tears.
They were afraid to meet the management staff while passing through the office hallway, and even now, when the business phone number “46XX or 46XX” appears on the phone, their hearts race and their minds race, complaining of the pain they have suffered so far.
Most of the victimized employees said that these bullying behaviors and human rights violations were due to Masan I-Port’s authority to issue tax invoices, and Rep. Jeong suggested that if they looked into the business processes between the operators and operators of other port terminals, they could come up with fundamental solutions.
In addition, immediately after the press conference held at Changwon City Hall, Masan I-Port Co., Ltd. collected all the toilet supplies for the women’s restroom and removed one of the two hallway CCTVs, suggesting that there was an attempt to conceal the facts related to the report, and he once again conveyed the need for a thorough investigation.
During the interview, Rep. Jeong stated that the situation was very serious and that this was an unethical and socially unethical act, and recommended that the victimized employees receive psychological counseling for their future social life and mental health, adding that he was also a former non-regular worker, and that he sympathized with the victimized employees and encouraged them to recover quickly.
Since the press conference on September 3rd to denounce the bullying at Masan I-Port, the employees have consistently remained unresponsive, without any official or unofficial apology or action taken against the operator. In fact, after the press conference, the executives of the operator have said to the employees of the operator, “How could you think of doing such a terrible thing?” and “You should be prepared,” and they are concerned that secondary victimization may occur. They conveyed to Rep. Jeong Hye-gyeong that there should be a prompt investigation into the truth and corresponding punishment and action.
Currently, the victims have filed complaints with the National Human Rights Commission and have received a response that they should seek help from the Ministry of Employment and Labor (counseling center), but the Ministry of Employment and Labor is in charge of bullying within the same workplace, so bullying between employees of general contractors, subcontractors, and operators is not protected by the law and is therefore not protected. Therefore, they specifically requested that this be discussed in the National Assembly. Rep. Jeong responded that similar cases are being discussed in the National Assembly and that they are watching the legislative process with interest.
Masan New Port Operation Co., Ltd. reported an ‘unfair trade practice’ to the Fair Trade Commission on October 2, 2024, and the Fair Trade Commission officially received a report case for unfair trade practices and violation of the Subcontracting Fair Trade Act to the Busan Regional Fair Trade Office Subcontracting Division and Competition Division, and an investigator is currently investigating, a company official said.
After finishing the interview with the employee, Rep. Jeong met with Masan New Port Operation Co., Ltd. CEO Noh Seung-cheol and shared the interview content with the victimized employee. CEO Noh said, “I was not able to closely look after the employees’ suffering, but I will take responsibility and take care of it to the end so that the employees’ damage is resolved and measures are taken to prevent recurrence so that there is no more damage. I will first look into providing counseling treatment to the victimized employees.”
Regarding the attempt to take away the operating company sales staff from the CEO of Masan I-Port on July 10, Representative Roh requested Rep. Jeong to thoroughly investigate whether there was any protection from HDC Group, based on the fact that he heard that it was not a decision made by the CEO of the operating company, but by the HDC Group, the major shareholder. <저작권자 ⓒ 브레이크뉴스경남 무단전재 및 재배포 금지>
