Scope of dispute, dispute of interest → dispute of rights… “The right to negotiate with the real boss”
The first step in limiting damages against the union… Eliminating liability for warranty of identity

The ‘Yellow Envelope Act’ (an amendment to Articles 2 and 3 of the Trade Union Act), which limits employers’ claims for compensation against strikers, crossed the threshold of the National Assembly’s Environment and Labor Committee sub-committee on the 15th. The power of the people against the bill required modification of the disagreement and applied to the Agenda Selection Committee.
A Sub-Committee on Employment and Labor Law of the Hwan-Woo Committee passed the amendment to the Trade Union Act on the same day. Youngjin Kim, Gunyeong Yoon, Sujin Lee, and Yonggi Jeon, along with Democratic Party lawmakers and Justice Party lawmakers Lee Eunju, voted in favor.
The power of the people applied to form the Agenda Committee to Chairman Jeon Jeon-cheol Hwan-no of the Democratic Party. Even if it is referred to the Agenda Committee, if the Democratic Party and the Justice Party are united, it can be presented to the full meeting of the Relations and Labor Committee by meeting the voting condition of more than two thirds (four) of the current legislators.
The amendment to the Trade Union Act, which the sub-committee passed on the same day, is meaningful as it has broadened the definition of employers and clarified the scope of compensation for compensation. By defining employers as those who exercise real control over working conditions, special employment workers, stage workers, subcontractors and posted workers can also engage in collective bargaining and industrial action against the main contractor.
Representative Kim Yeong-jin, secretary of the Labor and Labor Committee of the Democratic Party, said, “If the prime minister and the ‘real president’, who has the authority to determine all working conditions, including working conditions, at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering had agreed to the negotiations, the strike would not have been long and would have led to business losses.” “It’s about giving the right to negotiate to the real president,” he said.
The amendment also changed the scope of industrial action from ‘determination of working conditions’ to ‘working conditions’, widening what was only possible for interest disputes related to collective bargaining such as wage disputes to entitlements. The criteria and scope of claims for compensation were also explained. In case the court recognizes liability for damages caused by union activities, a new clause is added that the scope of liability must be determined individually according to the cause and contribution of each person responsible for damages for each damage. It is noted that the guarantor is not responsible for compensation for damages caused by union activities, and the possibility of joint liability is also eliminated. The Democratic Party expressed its will to use the full meeting’s direct reference card if the amendment to the trade union law is carried out on the basis of a systemic review and wording when it is referred to the Legislation and Judiciary Committee in the future.
The Justice Party, which has held a protest in front of the headquarters of the National Assembly and urged the enactment of the Yellow Envelope Act, has evaluated it as “significant progress.” Floor leader Lee Eun-ju said, “It is a significant step forward in enabling millions of indirectly employed workers who are not guaranteed the third labor right due to changes in the industrial structure to enjoy the third labor right, a fundamental right under the Constitution. .”
