Overview
- The bereaved family reached a settlement with London Bagel Museum and withdrew its industrial accident compensation application, according to their attorney.
- The attorney said the claim was canceled at the Gyeongin branch of the Korea Workers’ Compensation and Welfare Service, and the settlement reportedly exceeds likely official compensation.
- The Ministry of Employment and Labor expanded its inspection to 18 workplaces, including LBM Co. headquarters, seven cafe branches, three factories, and affiliated outlets under Artist Bakery, Layered, and Highwest.
- Officials cited signs of possible labor-law violations from initial surveys and interviews and assigned additional regional inspectors to the case.
- The review will examine working hours, leave, unpaid wages, and safety compliance under the Labor Standards Act and Occupational Safety and Health Act, noting 63 approved industrial accident claims tied to the bakery over three years.
