FKCCI Updates | Economy - 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 significant changes to the country’s labor relations framework.
Announced by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, the reform expands the definition of “employer,” allowing unions representing subcontracted workers to request dialogue with the principal contractor when it effectively controls working conditions.
The revision also broadens the scope of labor disputes to include certain management decisions affecting working conditions, extending the range of issues that may be subject to collective negotiations.
In addition, the law strengthens protections related to union formation and revises rules governing employer liability for damages linked to strike actions.
To support the implementation of the new framework, the government plans to introduce guidelines, advisory committees and training programs aimed at helping companies and labor organizations adapt to the revised system in workplaces across Korea.
