Main Issues

In a case where: (a) a trade union to which more than 140 counselors of the call center public service among six trade unions existing within the bargaining unit of the Korea Labor Welfare Corporation belongs, filed an application for the division of the bargaining unit with a Regional Labor Relations Commission; (b) but the Regional Labor Relations Commission did not need to separate the bargaining unit; and (c) the National Labor Relations Commission dismissed the application for reexamination of the Gap trade union on the same ground, the case holding that the ground that the Plaintiff’s assertion that the call center public service counselor of the Korea Labor Relations Commission is unnecessary to separate the bargaining unit from the general service and other public service is groundless

Summary of Judgment

From among six labor unions that exist within the negotiation unit of the Korea Labor Welfare Corporation, the labor union Gap to which more than 140 counselors of the call center Gap belongs, applied for the division of the bargaining unit to the Regional Labor Relations Commission, stating that the labor union "the director of the Korea Labor Welfare Corporation's call center's office is divided into a separate bargaining unit", but the local labor union did not need to separate the bargaining unit, and the National Labor Relations Commission dismissed the application for reexamination by Gap

Although there are some differences in the applicable regulations, working hours, wage levels, wage items, promotion system, etc. between the public service counselor of the call center and other public service and general service, it is difficult to deem that there is a substantial difference in working conditions due to the difference in the duties by occupational group or the government's policies for the transition of non-regular workers to regular workers, characteristics as public institutions of the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service, etc., the call center's public service counselor, other public service, and general service are employed through open recruitment, and there are some differences in the specific employment procedures of the public service worker and the general service worker of the call center through open recruitment, but it cannot be deemed that there is no intrinsic difference in the employment form. The Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service does not have a fact that the bargaining unit between labor and management of the Korea Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service and the call center is not operated separately, and there is no practice that separately negotiates between the labor union and the public service worker's labor union's labor union's labor union's labor union's labor union's labor union's labor union's labor union's labor union's labor union's labor union's trade union's profit and management.

Text

1. The plaintiff's claim is dismissed.

2. The costs of lawsuit shall be borne by the Plaintiff, including the part resulting from the supplementary participation.

The review decision made by the National Labor Relations Commission on November 15, 2019 between the Plaintiff and the Intervenor joining the Defendant (hereinafter referred to as the “ Intervenor”) on the application case for review of separation of bargaining units shall be revoked.

Reasons

1. Details of the decision on retrial;

A. On April 17, 2002, the Plaintiff is an industrial trade union at a national level established with the organization of workers in Gwangju-nam area. On June 12, 2019, the Plaintiff organized the Korea Workers’ Compensation and Welfare Service Branch of Gwangju District Council (hereinafter “instant Branch”) for counselors at the call center’s public offices belonging to the Intervenor Corporation. As of the above Branch, more than 140 members are present.

B. The Intervenor is a quasi-governmental institution established on May 1, 1995 and engaged in the business of improving the health of industrial accident workers and promoting the welfare of workers, etc. using approximately 9,50 full-time workers, including 6,90 general service workers, 1,660 public service workers, 9,50 fixed-term workers, and 9,50 full-time workers. The Intervenor’s affiliates include six regional headquarters, 54 branch offices, 6 committees, human resources development institutes, call centers, etc.

C. On August 12, 2019, the Plaintiff filed an application for the division of bargaining units with the Jeonnam Regional Labor Relations Commission, asserting that the Intervenor’s call center’s public service counselor is divided into separate bargaining units. On September 10, 2019, the Jeonnam Regional Labor Relations Commission dismissed the Plaintiff’s application on the ground that “It is difficult to view that there is a significant difference in working conditions between the call center public service counselor and the general service and other public service worker, and there is no practice of negotiations conducted separately between the Plaintiff and the Intervenor. There is no practice of negotiations conducted between the Plaintiff and the Intervenor; the joint bargaining trade union re-consigns the right to negotiate wage agreement in 2019 to the National Public Service and Social Workers’ Union, where the joint bargaining trade union partially joined the call center public service counselor, and it is highly probable that the negotiations will progress including the next public service counselor of the call center public service worker.

D. On October 16, 2019, the Plaintiff appealed and filed an application for reexamination with the National Labor Relations Commission. However, the National Labor Relations Commission dismissed the Plaintiff’s application for reexamination on the same ground as the above initial trial decision (hereinafter “instant initial trial decision”).

[Reasons for Recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence 1, 2, Eul evidence 1, the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Whether the decision on retrial of this case is legitimate

A. The plaintiff's assertion

In comparison with the general service and other public service positions of participants, it is difficult to expect that the call center's public service counselor has a significant difference in working conditions, the type of employment is different, and the joint bargaining trade union should reflect the interests of the call center's public service counselor, and it is necessary to separate the call center's public service counselor from a separate bargaining unit.

B. Legal principles on the standard of determining the necessity of separation of bargaining units

Article 29-2 of the Trade Union and Labor Relations Adjustment Act (hereinafter “Trade Act”) provides for the procedures for simplification of bargaining windows to require bargaining by determining a representative bargaining trade union in cases where there are not less than two trade unions which have established or joined a business or workplace regardless of its structural form, and Article 29-3(1) of the same Act provides, “the unit that shall determine a representative bargaining trade union pursuant to Article 29-2 (hereinafter “Negotiation unit”) shall be one business or workplace.” Article 29-3(2) of the same Act provides, “Where it is deemed necessary to divide the bargaining unit in consideration of the significant difference of working conditions in one business or workplace, type of employment, bargaining practices, etc., notwithstanding paragraph (1), the Labor Relations Commission may decide to divide the bargaining unit at the request of both or either of the parties to labor relations.”

Considering the content and form of the provision of the Trade Union Act and the legislative purport of the Trade Union Act that recognizes the separation of bargaining units in certain cases while in principle, in light of the legislative purport of the Trade Union Act that recognizes the separation of bargaining units, “where it is deemed necessary to separate bargaining units” under Article 29-3(2) of the Trade Union Act means exceptional cases where the simplification of bargaining windows through a representative bargaining trade union is likely to cause a result inconsistent with the purport of the single bargaining channel system that intends to establish a stable bargaining system through the uniform formation of working conditions (see Supreme Court Decision 2015Du39361, Sept. 13, 2018).

[Reasons for Recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap's 1 to 10, 12 to 15, Eul's 1 to 12, the purport of the whole pleadings

(d) Whether it is necessary to separate a bargaining unit;

In full view of the following circumstances revealed by the purport of the above recognition and the entire pleading, it cannot be deemed that there is a significant difference in the difference or significant employment conditions between the public service counselor of the call center and the public service worker of general service and other public service workers. There is no practice of negotiations conducted by dividing the public service counselor of the call center into a separate negotiating unit. The benefits to be achieved by separating the public service counselor of the call center into a separate negotiating unit cannot be deemed to exceed the benefits achieved by maintaining the procedures of simplification of the bargaining channel. Thus, the need to separate the public service counselor of the call center from the general service worker and other public service workers is not recognized. Accordingly, the Plaintiff’s assertion is without merit.

(i) working conditions;

A) There exists a difference between the government’s public sector’s non-regular transition policy, the content and difficulty of duties by occupational group, worker’s skill training degree, authority and responsibility, wage level in the labor market, etc. However, it cannot be readily concluded that there is a substantial difference in the working conditions through the simple comparison of wage level and wage constituent items.

B) The retirement age is equal to 60 years for a public service counselor, a public service counselor, a general service worker, and a public service worker. However, while the retirement age differs to 65 years for a facility security and a public service worker, this seems to be the result of considering the fact that the elderly is particularly high in the facility security and the type of work for facilities.

C) As a matter of principle, the working hours are the same from 09:00 to 18:00. Meanwhile, the call center’s public service counselors are subject to the full-time system and half-day system, and there are some differences in working hours and the form of service, such as the application of the facility security guards, electricity, machinery, and telecommunications engineers, etc. among other public service workers. However, this is due to an essential difference in the duties assigned to each service group.

D) Although Article 26(1) of the Call Center Operation Regulations provides that “The Regulations on the Appointment, Personnel Management, and Services of Call Centers shall apply mutatis mutandis to the recruitment, service, etc. of consultants at call centers.” Article 26(1) of the Regulations on the Call Center Regulations provides that “The Regulations on the Management of Public Service and Fixed-Term Workers shall apply mutatis mutandis to the reward for public service positions (Article 29); Article 29 of the Regulations on the Personnel Management of Public Service shall apply mutatis mutandis to the audit and inspection (Article 30); Article 30 of the Regulations on the Personnel Management and the Regulations on the Implementation of the Regulations on the Personnel Management and the Regulations on the Personnel Management of Public Service shall apply mutatis mutandis to the disciplinary proceedings on public service positions; and Article 47, the Regulations on the Operation of Leave, including holidays, annual leave, special leave, maternity leave, and unpaid leave, shall apply to the Regulations on the Regulations on the Management of Public Service (Article 48-2, 3,5 through 8). As such, counseling and other public service workers at call centers and the current standards on the Personnel Management and other standards on public service.

E) It is difficult to view that there is structural difference to the extent that there is a separate negotiation unit between the budget for personnel expenses of the general service and other public service workers and the budget for personnel expenses of the call center counselors, or there is a difference between the public service workers of the call center, other public service workers, promotion system, and the minimum years required for promotion of the general service.

F) As above, there are some differences in the application regulations, working hours, wage levels, wage items, promotion system, etc. between the public service counselor and other public service, and the general service. However, it is difficult to deem that there is a significant difference in working conditions due to the difference in duties by occupational group, government policy to convert non-regular workers into regular workers, characteristics of the Intervenor’s public agency, etc.

(ii) the type of employment;

All of the public service counselors, other public service providers, and general service in the call center are employed as indefinite contract workers through open employment. There are some differences in the specific employment procedures between the public service counselor and the general service. However, such circumstance alone does not necessarily change in the employment form.

3) Negotiation practices

An intervenor has conducted collective bargaining between labor and management in a uniform manner through the procedures for simplification of bargaining windows, and concluded a single collective agreement and applied in a lump sum to all trade unions and members belonging thereto who participated in the procedures for simplification of bargaining windows, but exceptionally, where it is necessary to set working conditions differently in consideration of the specificity of individual trade unions or individual occupational groups, it has been supplemented in a way that sets a separate standard. As such, there has not been no separate or operation of bargaining units between labor and management of the intervenor, and in particular, there has been no practices of negotiations between the intervenor and the call center public service counselor on June 12, 2019.

(iv) the maintenance of procedures for simplification of bargaining windows and the balance of interest in separation of bargaining units;

A) If a call center is divided into a separate negotiating unit, a separate collective agreement may be concluded between a public service counselor of the call center and a public service counselor of the general service, or between other public service workers. Accordingly, conflicts between trade unions or between trade unions and users, the fall of bargaining efficiency, the increase of bargaining costs, and difficulties in labor management may arise.

B) A worker belonging to the same company is bound to be formed differently in terms of the working conditions and the type of employment depending on the characteristics of the work in charge. In a case where the separation of bargaining units is recognized solely on the grounds of a somewhat different difference between the working conditions and the type of employment, the risk of the simplification of bargaining windows may not be ruled out by dividing the bargaining units by the detailed occupational group and trade union that wants individual bargaining.

C) As to this, the Plaintiff asserts that it is difficult to expect that the joint bargaining trade union will reflect the interests of the public service counselors of the call center because the joint bargaining trade union does not join the call center’s public service counselor. However, the joint bargaining trade union re-consigns the right to negotiate wage agreements of the members of the public service sector in 2019 to the National Public Service and the Incheon and Ulsan Regional Call Center’s public service trade union are the members of the Incheon and Ulsan Regional Call Center’s public service trade union. Therefore, in the process of wage negotiations, it is likely that the call center’s public service consultants will be able to sufficiently discuss and negotiate the requirements of the public

E. Sub-decision

Therefore, the decision of the retrial of this case is legitimate.
