The public sector employees should be taken special legal steps in the collective bargaining style, collective agreement and labor dispute settlement owing to the special characteristics of their labor relations. In spite of the subjects of labor fundamental rights constitutionally, the government employees and the university professors in Korea could not have exercised their rights owing to the forbidden clauses prescribed in the National Government Employees Act, the Private School Act, etc. for a long time. The working conditions of the government employees and public enterprise's employees should be prescribed by the law and regulations and be controlled by the draft budget after due deliberation of the National Assembly.
The public officials are composed of the type of occupations and organs, and the chief of ministry has no authority to decide the matters of working conditions, and all the working conditions of national or regional government employees are decided by the presidential decrees. Therefore the system of collective bargaining between the government employees' union and the government should be composed of the dual structure, i.e. the centralized bargaining system and the organic bargaining system prescribed by the Government Employees' Union Act. The important working conditions of the wages for their services should be decided by the centralized bargaining between the national union and the government, and the peculiar matters of the organ concerned should be decided by the organic bargaining system between the organic union and the organ concerned. For the purposes of the system, the negotiating government committee should be composed of the ministers of the personnel and administration, public service and budget affairs concerned.
Because the collective agreement related to the matters prescribed by the laws and regulations or the budget should be ineffective, the government negotiating delegates should introduce the revised bill or budget to the National Assembly or the local assembly. And the Public Enterprise's Labor Relations Act should be legislated in order to provide for the collective bargaining system and contracting the collective agreement of the public enterprise's union.
