Yellow envelope method, so-called approved but not settled… This month’s treatment is empty words.

Members of the ruling party apply for an appeal to the plenary session to oppose forced processing
Can be discussed for up to 90 days and delayed for plenary session approval
, ‘[Edaily Kim Yoo-seong Reporter] The yellow envelope law that was abandoned in the 21st National Assembly passed through the National Assembly Environment and Labor Committee’s Employment and Labor Bill Screening Subcommittee. However, it has not been presented to the plenary session of the Environment and Labor Committee and has been referred to the agenda coordination committee.’,

On the morning of the 16th, the Employment and Labor Bill Screening Subcommittee of the National Assembly Environment and Labor Committee is meeting. On this day, the subcommittee passed the “Yellow Envelope Law” (amendment to the Labor Union and Labor Relations Act) determined by the Democratic Party of Korea as the party’s decision.

, ‘On the 16th, Kim Joo-young, the opposition party leader of the Environment and Labor Committee at the National Assembly, stated, “The Employment and Labor Bill Screening Subcommittee passed the ‘Labor Union Law 2·3 Amendment Bill’ that limits indiscriminate seizure of damages against striking workers.” ‘,
,
, ‘Kim said, “Contrary to the ruling party’s argument of ‘forced processing,’ today’s subcommittee and plenary session were scheduled through an agreement between the opposition party leaders,” and expressed hope for a responsible attitude in the upcoming discussion process instead of mass withdrawal or absence. ‘,
,
, ‘Previously, during the Employment and Labor Bill Screening Subcommittee, Kim Hyung-dong, a member of the opposition, met with reporters and criticized the ruling party’s argument that “the Democratic Party’s party decision is the law of the National Assembly,” regarding the opposition’s forced processing. ‘,
,
, ‘Despite such criticism, members of the opposition parties, including the Democratic Party, passed the yellow envelope law at the subcommittee and referred it to the plenary session of the Environment and Labor Committee. However, the ruling party objected and applied for the agenda coordination committee. ‘,
,
, ‘The agenda coordination committee can be established upon a request from more than one-third of the present members of the relevant standing committee. It is composed of six members, including one chairman (3 from the ruling party and 3 from the opposition party). Once referred to the agenda coordination committee, the processing of the bill can be delayed for up to 90 days.’,
,
, ‘The renewed yellow envelope law, reintroduced by the six opposition parties including the Democratic Party last month, contains more stringent provisions than the bill that was abandoned in the 21st National Assembly. In addition to the content that ‘in case of disputes arising from unfair labor practices by employers, workers cannot claim damages,’ it includes provisions guaranteeing the collective bargaining rights of special laborers and platform workers.’,
