'Public Institution Labor Director System' Passes Judiciary Committee... Scheduled for Plenary Session on the 11th

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] The 'Public Institution Transferred Labor Director System,' which appoints one non-standing labor director in public institutions from workers who have worked for more than three years in public enterprises and quasi-governmental agencies, recommended by the labor representative or agreed upon by the majority of workers, passed the National Assembly Legislation and Judiciary Committee on the 10th.

On that day, the National Assembly Legislation and Judiciary Committee handled the 'Amendment to the Act on the Operation of Public Institutions' with bipartisan agreement at the plenary meeting held in the afternoon.

The term of office for a non-standing labor director is 2 years, and it can be renewed annually thereafter.

The enforcement date is six months after the date of promulgation.

The public institution labor director system gained momentum after Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party of Korea's presidential candidate, urged its passage at the regular National Assembly session last December, and Yoon Seok-youl, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, also supported it.

However, within the People Power Party, there were concerns that the amendment could spread to private companies, leading to non-participation in the vote at the Planning and Finance Committee plenary meeting on the 5th.

This bill is scheduled to be submitted to the National Assembly plenary session on the 11th.
