FKCCI Updates | Regulation - Yellow Envelope Law Comes Into Force
On March 10th, revised Articles 2 and 3 of the Trade Union and Labor Relations Adjustment Act officially entered into force in Korea, introducing updates to the country’s labor relations framework.
Announced by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, the reform clarifies the definition of “employer” in complex employment structures. Under certain circumstances, unions representing subcontracted workers may now request dialogue with a principal contractor when it plays a significant role in determining working conditions.
The revision also expands the scope of labor-management discussions to include a broader range of workplace-related issues, reflecting the evolving structure of employment relationships across industries.
For companies operating in Korea, the new framework highlights the importance of maintaining constructive dialogue with employees and partners across supply chains, particularly in sectors involving subcontracting arrangements.
To facilitate a smooth transition, the government plans to introduce implementation guidelines, advisory mechanisms and training programs designed to support both businesses and labor organizations in adapting to the revised regulatory environment.
