The Justice Party held the opening ceremony of an IT Workers Counseling Center called 'Debug' on February 14 at the Room #223 of the National Assembly's main office building.

Rep. Roh Hoi-chan, floor leader of the Justice Party said that although IT is a key factor leading into the fourth industrial revolution, IT workers face a common misconception that they are seemingly granted for the unreasonably low levels of wages called 'passion wages'. He added that the Justice Party will change the current working environment of IT industry which infringes upon workers' rights for health and environment.

In recent, the sudden death of an IT worker at the Netmarble Games and long working hours facing IT workers in general raised a serious social concern.

'Debug'(debug.justice21.org) aims to provide IT workers with the services of labor counseling and legal aid, besides the activities such as the legislation of an act to eradicate the multi-tiered subcontracting in the IT industry, and the introduction of the right guaranteeing IT workers to return home from work centered upon the abolition of the inclusive wage system, and the implementation of online labor law education programs for IT workers.
