Judgment on the Defendants and defense counsel's assertion
1. The assertion;
Defendant A and C’s refusal of access to K, which is the position of dismissal of a LM plant, is justified as based on the right to manage facilities, and even if not, there was justifiable reason to believe that the above Defendants were entitled to refuse access to K. Thus, the above Defendants’ refusal of access to K and the deduction of wages of 0.5 minutes for 29 workers employed in front of the door to provide K and education does not constitute unfair labor practices.
2. Determination
A. The following facts are acknowledged according to the above evidence.
① The branch of the G Workers’ Union H branch (hereinafter referred to as the “branch”) requested Defendant D Limited Company (hereinafter referred to as the “Defendant Company”), Defendant D Limited Company (hereinafter referred to as the “Defendant Company”): On December 11, 2012, 2012: The target: former members of the G Workers’ Union; on December 11, 2012, : on a day: 15:30-17:30 (2 hours); on a night, 21:0-23:0-23:0 (2 hours): on a day: on a day: on a day; on a day after a request was made to make an entry to the Educational Union of K Workers: on a day: December 7, 2012; on a day: the place of entry and training; and on a day: the place of entry and training; the target members; and on a request made a request to enter the Educational Union of K Workers.
② On December 10, 2012, the Defendant Company notified the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the local government.
③ On December 11, 2012, its branch notified the Defendant Company of the change of the training place of the union members into the fixed letter.
④ Accordingly, on December 11, 2012, Defendant Company notified the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the affiliate of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the branch of the board
(6) The details of Article 7 of the collective agreement related to this part are as follows:
Article 7(A.I.D.)(A.I.D.) activities of an association shall be performed outside working hours in principle.2.2. During working hours, in consultation with a non-exclusive union and a union member, the non-exclusive union member shall be conducted in writing or orally in consultation with a company.3. During working hours, the non-exclusive union member shall recognize the union activities for three hours a week, but the union representative and the representatives shall recognize the union activities for five hours a month.4.(1) At the central committee members elected under the name of the Chairperson of G Labor Union, the paid working hours shall be recognized as follows.(2) At the meeting of the Central Committee in accordance with the letter of convening the letter of convening the Central Committee under the name of the Chairperson of G Labor Union Union, the meeting hours of the board of representatives of branches, the union members shall be 4 hours a quarter, and the union members shall be 2 hours a year. In the case of the above company, the company shall be notified by oral or written notice at least one week prior to the above company, and the company shall be recognized as the time and place of consultation.
B. In full view of the following circumstances revealed from the above facts, it is reasonable to view that Defendant A and C refused access to K and deducted wages from 0.5 minutes for 29 full time workers who were found in front of the fact constitutes unfair labor practices. Therefore, the above assertion is without merit.
① Article 7(5) of the collective agreement provides that "the education of union members shall be recognized for four hours a quarter and may be used within a year." Article 7(7) provides that "in the case of paragraph (5) above, the company shall be notified orally or in writing at least one week prior to the implementation of the education, and the date, time, and place shall be consulted with the company at the time of the implementation of the education." The purpose of the above provision is to stipulate that "the union shall autonomously determine the education of union members and notify the company one week prior to the implementation of the education," but it is reasonable to interpret that "the date, time and place" shall be "the consultation in consideration of harmony with the company's labor direction or the right to manage facilities."
In addition, Article 7 of the above collective agreement does not have any separate restrictions on whether or not 'education of union members' is conducted, the contents and methods thereof, etc., and if it is interpreted that a company may arbitrarily interpret the purpose or contents of education of union members and limit them, it is likely that the collective agreement would force the company to neglect time for 'education of union members'. Therefore, it is reasonable to see that the trade union has a broad discretion in choosing the contents or methods of 'education of union members'.
③ Ultimately, it is reasonable to deem that the Defendant Company’s act of denying K’s entry on the grounds that K invited as an instructor of “education of union members” is the status of dismissal of LA MA and its contents may adversely affect labor-management relations, and that it violates the provisions of the above collective agreement. As such, when K, an instructor, could not enter the company due to unfair measures taken by the company, it is reasonable to deem that the act of a branch where K, an instructor, changed its place to the outside of the company and proceeded with the “education of union members” as the act of a trade union.
(4) On this issue, the Defendants asserted that the non-employee union activity from the company's right to manage the facilities may refuse access to the company's facility. However, this theory seems to be applicable only when the union activity in the mountain-level labor union intends to enter the company for the business of industrial-level labor union, such as solicitation for joining the association. On the other hand, in the case where the instructors are invited from the company's internal trade union with broad discretion regarding the training of union members as in this case as in the above, the instructors are invited as instructors for the training of union members, even if they are the union's status, there seems to be no reason to be different from the outside. Accordingly, the Defendant company should have permitted access to QP trade union as if they permitted access to the outside, and the failure to do so can not be justified due to equity problems.
The Defendants on the grounds of sentencing are led to confession and reflect on the violation of the Labor Standards Act, and the violation of the Labor Union and Labor Relations Adjustment Act seems to have led to the commission of a crime by wrong legal evaluation. In addition, in relation to the violation of the Labor Standards Act, it appears that there was an agreement on overtime work to the extent that workers can recognize, and Defendant A had already been punished for committing a crime at a similar time. In this context, considering all the circumstances such as the Defendants’ age, character and conduct, motive, means and consequence of the crime, and the circumstances after the crime, the punishment is determined as ordered.
The acquittal portion
1. Facts charged;
A. Defendant C. An employer shall not control or intervene in the organization or operation of a trade union by an employee.
Nevertheless, around September 18, 2012, the Defendant refused to enter the said D Limited Company, solely on the ground that the NN, the head of the G Labor Union HU HH sub-branch, who was delegated collective bargaining by the subdivision of the HH branch, attempted to visit the labor union office to prepare collective bargaining, but did not have the date of negotiation.
Accordingly, the Defendant engaged in unfair labor practices that control and take part in the organization and operation of trade unions.
B. Defendant D Limited Liability Company
The Defendant, at the time and place specified in the above paragraph (a) above, was controlled and opened by C, a labor director of the Defendant, as above, in relation to the Defendant’s business.
2. Determination
A. According to the following facts, the following facts are acknowledged according to the following: (a) the foregoing evidence; (b) the selection of the foregoing evidence; (c) the commencement of negotiations and notification of negotiating members in 2012; (d) legitimate trade union entry; (e) the power of attorney; and (e) the results of private interviews at vulnerable workplaces in labor-management relations (D); and (e) the adjustment
(1) On September 17, 2012, the date and time of negotiations to Defendant Company: On September 18, 2012, the conference room for the first floor, the list of negotiating members for the union: on September 18, 2012, the number of negotiating members for the union: 8 persons in total, 8 persons in unit, R [Chief of Department], S [Chief of Department], T [Chief of Secretary General, UI Site], N [Chief of Organization Expenses], 5 [Chief of Branch of Site], W [Chief of Site], and W [Chief of Site], and notify the negotiating members in 2012.
② Accordingly, on September 17, 2012, the Defendant Company received a request from the branch to hold negotiations on September 18, 2012, and on September 3, 2012, it is understood that the negotiating schedule adjustment is inevitable due to the attendance of the Daejeon Regional Labor Administration and the negotiating members on the relevant day, and it is reasonable to make a final adjustment after working-level consultation on the future negotiating schedule. At the time, A was requested by the Daejeon Regional Labor Administration, and A was actually subject to a request for attendance from the Daejeon Regional Labor Administration on September 18, 2012.
③ Nevertheless, N intended to visit an office in a trade union to conduct collective bargaining on September 18, 2012, but the Defendant Company refused N’s access rather than the date of negotiation, since it did not reach an agreement on the negotiation schedule.
(4) The details of Article 105 of the collective agreement related to this part are as follows:
Article 105(Collective Negotiations)1. A request for collective bargaining shall be made on the date of request by both parties when a union or a company makes a request for the renewal of collective agreements, wages and working conditions.2. A request for collective bargaining shall be made in writing at least 10 days prior to the date of negotiation, members and contents of negotiations, and shall be made within 3 days if it is intended to modify matters requested by the other party due to unavoidable reasons.3. The negotiation committee shall be made up of not more than 8 members of the labor and management, regardless of the form of negotiation.4. In the negotiations, both parties shall be present, and the delegated person shall present his power of representation.5. The negotiating committee shall participate in negotiations as a representative who has the right of bargaining and the right of conclusion, and shall not re-consign the agreed matters.6.The proceedings shall be kept on the seventh day, but shall be kept in one copy and one copy of each labor and management representative signed by the union or the company.
B. In full view of the following circumstances revealed from the above recognized facts, it is reasonable to view that Defendant C’s refusal to enter N was justifiable or has been believed to have such authority.
① Article 105(1) of the collective agreement provides that "if there is a request for collective agreement renewal, wage and working conditions on the part of the union or the company, both parties shall comply with the date of the request." Paragraph (2) provides that "The request for collective bargaining shall be submitted in writing at least 10 days prior to the date and time of the negotiation, members and details of the negotiation, and if there is any unavoidable reason to change matters requested by the other party, it shall be notified of the request for change within 3 days." The purport of the above provision is that the trade union and both parties of the company may demand collective bargaining at any time, but the purpose of the provision is to establish a mature labor-management culture, which has been achieved as a result of prompt collective bargaining, by preventing a mature conflict between the other party's demand for collective bargaining and the other party's preparation with sufficient time.
② In addition, in a case where a company refuses to conduct legitimate collective bargaining by a trade union, a trade union may commence an industrial action. In determining whether there was a legitimate demand for collective bargaining, the trade union has a significant meaning that it has taken procedures provided for in the collective agreement. However, this does not seem to be a procedural provision. However, if it does not so, it means that the trade union may conduct collective bargaining without sufficient time for the company to demand the collective bargaining at all, and then may conduct industrial action by borrowing of such refusal. Therefore, it does not require any misappropriation.
③ Therefore, it is reasonable to view that the request for collective bargaining from September 18, 2012, which was notified 10 days prior to the “1st day” as stipulated in the collective agreement, is invalid, and that the request for collective bargaining from September 18, 2012, is not valid. Accordingly, the request from a negotiating member for a company entry on the premise that such request is valid is not justifiable.
(4) In addition, if collective bargaining is scheduled, it is reasonable that the negotiating member needs to enter a trade union office even before the date of such bargaining. However, if a trade union has requested collective bargaining prior to the scheduled date of collective bargaining as in this case, such collective bargaining cannot be conducted. In such a case, if the collective bargaining itself cannot be deemed to have been scheduled and thus, it should not be deemed that an external person can enter the company as a matter of course even if he/she is designated as the negotiating member. If it is not so, if it is extreme, it is unreasonable to excessively restrict the employer’s right of facility interests.
C. If so, this part of the facts charged against the above Defendants constitutes a case where there is no evidence of crime because it is difficult to view that this part of the facts charged is proven without reasonable doubt, and thus, a judgment of innocence is rendered under the latter part of
