Judgment on the argument of the defendant and defense counsel

First, the defendant and his defense counsel asserts that the simple refusal of labor does not constitute a threat of interference with business, and is not in a surety position, so the crime of interference with business is not established.

However, even if an employee who entered into an employment contract with the employer did not provide labor in violation of his/her own contract, it cannot be deemed that it constitutes a crime of interference with business, apart from the fact that the employee is liable for nonperformance of the employment contract. However, if multiple workers refuse to provide labor by collectively leaving the workplace or absent from work under mutual communication, thereby impairing the normal operation of business, such as production, sale, etc. of the employer, unless the act is justified as a legitimate industrial action under the labor-related Acts and subordinate statutes, it constitutes a crime of interference with business, unless the act is justified as a legitimate industrial action under the labor-related Acts and subordinate statutes (see Supreme Court Decision 90Do2771, Apr. 23, 191).

In addition, an industrial action is already satisfying the requirements of "compact and number of persons, which are the conceptual elements of force in terms of collective action, and it has the nature of suppressing free will in that it is a practical exercise of force that imposes pressure, and most of the cases involve force, and it cannot be said that the refusal to provide labor under mutual communication with many workers cannot be the same in terms of the degree or risk of the ability of the individual workers. Therefore, it is deemed that the collective refusal to provide labor constitutes an element of the crime of interference with business by treating the collective refusal to provide labor under mutual communication with each other, as a form of force of the act, which is the element of the crime of interference with business, and thus, it is not punishable as an omission of the refusal to provide collective labor (see Constitutional Court en banc Decision 97Hun-Ba23, Jul. 16, 1998). The above argument purporting to this effect is not acceptable.

In addition, the defendant and his defense counsel asserted that the ex officio arbitration system is unconstitutional, and there are significant defects in the decision of the National Labor Relations Commission to refer to arbitration in this case.

Article 62 subparag. 3 of the Trade Union and Labor Relations Adjustment Act and Article 63 of the Trade Union and Labor Relations Adjustment Act provide that the legislative purpose is to maintain the daily lives of the public and preserve the national economy by allowing the resolution of disputes through arbitration of the Labor Relations Commission in lieu of agreement between the labor and management to resolve disputes in lieu of agreement between the labor and management, and the method of restricting fundamental rights provided for in the Act is appropriate, and the degree of restriction on fundamental rights is also appropriate, and the balance between the public interest to be protected and the private interest to be restricted is maintained, so it does not violate the principle of excessive prohibition under the Constitution (see Supreme Court Decisions 201Do1863, Dec. 26, 2003; 201Hun-Ga31, May 15, 2003, etc.).

On the other hand, according to the documents submitted by the defendant and the defense counsel on the background of the decision to refer the case to arbitration, when collective bargaining with the Korea Railroad Workers' Union and the Korea Railroad Corporation has been interrupted, the labor union has conducted mediation by the special mediation committee organized by the National Labor Relations Commission upon filing an application for mediation of the labor dispute with the National Labor Relations Commission on November 10, 2005. However, on November 25, 2005, the National Labor Relations Commission recommended conditional referral to arbitration under the condition that "the mediation is terminated without presenting the mediation proposal because it is judged that the mediation proposal would be inappropriate due to a significant difference between the parties to the labor union," and the National Labor Relations Commission would suspend referral to arbitration by December 26, 2006 pursuant to the agreement that the labor union would not take industrial action, but again, by giving notice that the labor union would not return to arbitration by not later than the end of January 26, 2006, but by giving notice that the labor union would not directly refer to arbitration in the manner of postponement and voluntary bargaining.

In order to complete mediation without submitting a proposal for mediation and submit it to an ex officio arbitration, there is no evidence to deem that it is unlawful and invalid in the course of the procedure to suspend the referral to arbitration without immediately conducting the referral to arbitration in order to guarantee the autonomous bargaining of labor and management. The industrial action from March 1, 2006 to March 4 of the same year was conducted within 15 days from the date of referral to arbitration by the National Labor Relations Commission, and thus, it is in violation of the provisions of the Labor Union and Labor Relations Adjustment Act, and thus, the argument for a legitimate act is rejected.
