2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful
A. The plaintiff's assertion
The provision on the administrative expense of this case does not fall under the main part of the expenses, but does not constitute unfair labor practices under Article 81 subparag. 4 of the Trade Union Act, since there is no significant risk of infringing the autonomy of the trade union by creating it at the Plaintiff’s request. Therefore, since the provision on the administrative expense of this case is lawful, the disposition of this case ordering the correction
(b) Related statutes;
Attached Table 1 is as stated in the relevant Acts and subordinate statutes.
C. Determination
(1) Article 81 Subparag. 4 of the Trade Union Act prohibits an employer from engaging in unfair labor practices. The operating expenses refer to all the expenses incurred in the existence and activities of a trade union, including the purchase of goods, personnel expenses of the trade union, expenses incurred in meetings, such as meetings of the trade union conference, operation expenses of the trade union, and other expenses that need to be paid from the budget of the trade union. The operating expenses of the trade union shall be paid from the expenses of the trade union paid by the union members. If the trade union receives a subsidy from the employer for the operation of the trade union, it shall lose autonomy as an opposing organization, and even if not, it shall be prohibited from providing the employer with an opportunity to facilitate the control and alteration of the trade union. However, receiving a minimum amount of office from the employer (proviso to Article 81 Subparag. 4 of the Trade Union Act). It shall be allowed to receive supplies and facilities such as electrical and electric facilities, which must be kept ordinarily together with the office, or it shall be prohibited from being paid by social norms.
(2) In the instant case, in light of the following circumstances, Gap evidence 3, Eul evidence 6-1 to 12, Eul evidence 2-2, and each of the above evidence, the provision on the administrative expense of this case provides that a trade union shall receive monthly money exceeding the supplies and facilities of books, chairs, electric facilities, etc. which the trade union should normally keep at the minimum size with the office of the trade union, and thus, it is difficult to deem that the administrative expense of this case constitutes an unfair labor practice under Article 81-4 of the Trade Union Act because it is difficult to view that there is no significant risk that the autonomy of the trade union is infringed due to the provision on the administrative expense of this case. Thus, the plaintiff's assertion is without merit.
① The instant provision provides that an employer shall pay a certain amount of money in accordance with the number of union members every month for office expenses and subsidies. As such, the provision provides that an employer shall pay a certain amount of money in proportion to the number of union members every month, whether it is within the scope of office expenses and office expenses acceptable under the generally accepted social norms as necessary for the operation of offices, and whether it is within the scope of office expenses and office expenses, regardless
② The gross income of the Plaintiff’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s other’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s other’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s other’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s one’s other’s one’s one’s one’s other.

③ Since the instant provision provides that an employer shall pay a certain monthly amount of money, an employer may not refuse a trade union’s demand for payment at the stage of enforcing the instant collective agreement with regard to the portion exceeding the expenses that the trade union is able to provide pursuant to relevant laws and regulations.
④ According to the instant provision, regardless of whether a trade union actually uses the office, incidental facilities, and fixtures, it is likely that a trade union would receive a certain amount of administrative subsidy every month and provide an opportunity for employers to be able to easily control and reform the trade union by deepening dependence on employers.
⑤ Even if the instant provision on labor expense was enforced since the time when the first collective agreement (Evidence A No. 3) was concluded in 192 by the provision that the Plaintiff demanded the employer to pay office expenses, subsidies, etc. and agreed to provide them to the employer, and thereafter, it constitutes a security guard prohibited from being provided by an employer pursuant to Article 81 subparag. 4 of the Trade Union Act, if a trade union, in the form of a collective agreement, is likely to receive a considerable amount of office expenses every month, regardless of whether the labor union has actually used the office expenses, incidental facilities, and fixtures, as seen earlier, regardless of whether it has actually been used as a trade union office expenses, ancillary facilities, and fixtures.
3. Conclusion
Therefore, the judgment of the court of first instance dismissing the plaintiff's claim of this case is just and there is no ground for appeal by the plaintiff. It is so decided as per Disposition.
