  "summary": "The presidential office in South Korea announced plans to issue enforcement guidance to clarify the legal scope of labor-management negotiations under the newly revised labor union law, which came into effect in March. This move aims to address the ambiguity surrounding the extent of negotiations that can legally take place between labor unions and prime contractors, following the expansion of bargaining rights for subcontracted workers. The government seeks to establish enforcement guidance that can be implemented immediately, rather than waiting for the longer process of creating an enforcement ordinance.",
