企業構造變更에 있어서 勤勞關係保護에 관한 硏究

Abstract

Korean economic conditions are having dramatic changes. These changes are challenging to corporations as a subject of business. It is required that corporations prospect and respond to these changes in business and economy. Corporations take some measures for the rationalization of management. Corporations should try to make reforms and reduce costs for the rationalization of management. To respond to the economic conditions they should develope and invest in fresh and innovative businesses instead of no-future industries. To develope these innovative businesses, corporations should take such measures as corporate merger, corporate division, and business transfer, which lead into corporate restructuring. Corporate restructuring necessarily includes changes of material and human resources involved in business. At this time, the changes in human resources, which consist of workers, have a heavy influence on their positions. Because the number of existing workers can be a factor of a business burden, restructuring of human resources is a factor of the conflict between corporations and workers. In the condition that workers have been dismissed from their corporations for the rationalization of management, workers can be thought to be relative victims. Consequently, it is important that legal devices to protect the positions of workers be made. This study is to examine the systems to protect workers in corporate restructuring and their disadvantages and to seek other alternative solutions.
