‘쟁의대상’ 시행지침에 담겠다는 정부…노동계 “쟁의 위축 우려 여전” 반발

The government has decided to include the labor dispute scope in a proposed labor implementation guideline rather than a regulation, as instructed by President Yoon. Although President Yoon directed the establishment of implementation regulations, the government has opted for a guideline with immediate application for ease of enforcement.

The Ministry of Employment and Labor plans to further refine the Yellow Packet implementation guidelines to address this. The guidelines will clarify whether labor disputes fall under the scope or not, avoiding potential constitutional violations related to collective action rights. The government aims to enhance the effectiveness of labor dispute guidelines compared to regulations, which often take over a month to implement.
