Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Why do workers need unions?”\u003cbr\u003e “100 Questions and Answers about Labor Unions” begins with this question.\u003cbr\u003e What do you guys think?\u003cbr\u003e In Korea, they say that compliance with labor laws depends on whether “the boss is a good person.”\u003cbr\u003e This means that even if there are legal standards, worker treatment fluctuates depending on the boss's disposition.\u003cbr\u003e The authors therefore argue that the three labor rights are necessary.\u003cbr\u003e The right to organize, the right to collective bargaining, and the right to collective action are the key elements that enable employers and workers to achieve a minimum balance and determine working conditions.\u003cbr\u003e This is why the Constitution guarantees the three labor rights. \u003cbr\u003eThe authors answer 105 questions from the perspective of workers, asking why workers form unions, negotiate, and engage in industrial action, what their union activities are for, and what impact their activities should have on the community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"100 Questions and Answers about Labor Unions\" is a practical guide that can be used immediately in the field.\u003cbr\u003e This book is divided into five chapters.\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1: Establishment and Joining of Labor Unions (17 questions), Chapter 2: Labor Union Operations (22 questions), Chapter 3: Collective Bargaining and Collective Agreements (32 questions), Chapter 4: Collective Action (23 questions), and Chapter 5: Unfair Labor Practices (11 questions).\u003cbr\u003e ‘Unionizing’ is an activity that involves facing countless choices at every moment.\u003cbr\u003e Subcontracted workers, special employment workers, and platform workers also have to overcome obstacles created by complex relationships. \u003cbr\u003eThere are so many choices to make, from whether to join an industry-level union or establish a company-level union, how to request negotiations, and when and how to stop industrial action.\u003cbr\u003e This book focuses on guiding workers at that time on how to make the best choices and respond to each situation.\u003cbr\u003e The revised edition of “100 Questions and Answers about Labor Unions” has changed significantly.\u003cbr\u003e The authors say, “You could practically think of this as a completely revised edition.”\u003cbr\u003e ‘Collective Bargaining and Collective Agreements’ is the chapter with the most changes in this revised edition.\u003cbr\u003e With regard to the negotiation system, including the procedure for unifying the negotiation window, many precedents have been accumulated since the first edition was published, and these have been reflected.\u003cbr\u003e This book clearly contains not only the revised case law but also the revised work manuals of the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Central Labor Relations Commission. \u003cbr\u003eFor example, we introduced and answered issues surrounding negotiations, such as how to calculate the number of members in each union when there are members who are members of multiple unions, and the procedure for determining the representative union for negotiations.\u003cbr\u003e Thanks to this, the number of questions and answers increased from 100 to 105.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The authors of \"100 Questions and Answers about Labor Unions\" are labor law experts who meet with workers in labor unions, provide consultations, and advise them.\u003cbr\u003e This book contains the extensive labor field experience and extensive knowledge of Park Seong-woo, head of the Labor Law Support Center at the Seoul Headquarters of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (representative labor attorney at Labor and Human Rights Law Firm), Lee Sang-hyeok, head of the Central Law Firm (member of the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Review Committee), and Kwon Du-seop, head of Workplace Bullying 119 (former head of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions Legal Center).\u003cbr\u003e The authors avoid simply copying legal provisions or case law, and instead write the legal content in an easy-to-understand manner, providing practical advice from the perspective of workers. \u003cbr\u003eNovember 13, 2020 marks the 50th anniversary of Jeon Tae-il's death.\u003cbr\u003e I am very pleased to be publishing the revised edition of “100 Questions and Answers about Labor Unions.”\u003cbr\u003e Just as he created the \"Fools' Association\" and the \"Samdong Friendship Association\" to demand compliance with the Labor Standards Act, I hope that all workers will form unions and secure their rights.\u003cbr\u003e I hope this book will serve as a small seed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePreface to the Revised Edition of \"100 Questions and Answers on Labor Unions\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Labor unions: A start toward humane work\u003cbr\u003e Five years have passed since the first edition of “100 Questions and Answers about Labor Unions” was published.\u003cbr\u003e In the meantime, there have been many changes in our society.\u003cbr\u003e Above all, the power of citizens holding candles brought about the impeachment of a president for the first time in constitutional history.\u003cbr\u003e That experience of victory is driving calls for more human rights and democracy across society, especially in the workplace.\u003cbr\u003e The number of union members is increasing. \u003cbr\u003eThe unionization rate, which was 10.2% (1.938 million people) in 2015 when the first edition was published, increased to 11.8% (2.331 million people) in 2018.\u003cbr\u003e A new 400,000 workers have been able to exercise their three basic labor rights, which are essential for humane work.\u003cbr\u003e This figure, according to statistics from the Ministry of Employment and Labor, excludes members of illegal unions, so the actual number is higher.\u003cbr\u003e As of 2020, the exact figures are not yet available as official statistics have not yet been released, but judging by the continuous news of union membership and establishment in the workplace, it is clear that the unionization rate is much higher than in 2018.\u003cbr\u003e Non-regular workers in the public sector, in-house subcontracted workers, IT workers, workers in various service industries, and workers in various special employment sectors are forming labor unions one after another. \u003cbr\u003eIn particular, special employment workers such as delivery drivers, designated drivers, quick service workers, insurance planners, delivery workers, water purifier installers, and after-school instructors also received labor union establishment notification certificates from administrative offices.\u003cbr\u003e The court ruled that private tutors, broadcast actors, train station concessionaire operators, and car salespeople are workers under the Trade Union and Labor Relations Adjustment Act (the Labor Act).\u003cbr\u003e Even Samsung and POSCO, which were synonymous with so-called non-union management, have formed labor unions.\u003cbr\u003e Meaningful changes are beginning to happen.\u003cbr\u003e But it is still very much insufficient.\u003cbr\u003e Although the unionization rate has increased by about 2%, it is still at the bottom among OECD member countries.\u003cbr\u003e Korea has yet to ratify the International Labor Organization (ILO) fundamental conventions related to the right to organize and collective bargaining. \u003cbr\u003eThere is much controversy over whether many newly emerging special employment workers, including so-called platform workers, are legally considered workers.\u003cbr\u003e It is also not easy to hold the original users with actual authority accountable under the labor union law.\u003cbr\u003e The single-window system for multiple union negotiations is newly restricting the three labor rights.\u003cbr\u003e Even now, the law of obstruction of business is applied to strikes.\u003cbr\u003e The reality is that labor unions are also concentrated mainly in the public sector and large-scale workplaces.\u003cbr\u003e I can confidently say that the three labor rights are the only means to enable workers to work with dignity.\u003cbr\u003e There can be no labor rights without unions.\u003cbr\u003e For workers, unions are always a necessity, not an option.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While I was finalizing the revision of the manuscript and proofreading, the Supreme Court issued two significant rulings on the same day. \u003cbr\u003eThe ruling is that the Ministry of Employment and Labor's notification of an extra-legal union to the Korean Teachers and Education Workers' Union was illegal and therefore invalid, and that the strike by Korea Water Resources Corporation contract workers at the main contractor's workplace did not constitute obstruction of business.\u003cbr\u003e The court's interpretation of the law is also the result of the workers' persistent activities and struggles that transcended the framework of the evil law.\u003cbr\u003e Although it is slow, I believe that our society is making progress toward a world where labor is beautiful through the power of workers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The revised edition reflects all case law and legal amendments that have occurred since the publication of the first edition.\u003cbr\u003e Key decisions, focusing on Supreme Court decisions, are included, including case numbers, whenever possible.\u003cbr\u003e Since the first edition was published, many rulings have been made regarding the single negotiation window system for multiple unions, so the collective bargaining section in particular has been significantly revised. \u003cbr\u003eThe Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Central Labor Relations Commission also changed the various work manuals to reflect the revised edition.\u003cbr\u003e We re-examined the overall question structure.\u003cbr\u003e Some questions were combined, the order changed, and new questions were added, increasing the number of questions to 105.\u003cbr\u003e We have revised the entire question, not just the changed questions.\u003cbr\u003e We rewrote the content for parts that were insufficiently explained or difficult to understand, and added new references and diagrams.\u003cbr\u003e In fact, it seems safe to say that this is a completely revised edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As this book is a general legal commentary on labor unions, it must be revised accordingly to maintain its timeliness when laws are revised or new precedents are introduced.\u003cbr\u003e This will also increase its usability.\u003cbr\u003e To meet those demands, we publish a revised edition after several months of review and revision. \u003cbr\u003eAs interest in joining and establishing labor unions grows, I hope this book can serve as a small spark to ignite that social atmosphere.
