Abstract

Seafarers are being applied to the Seafarer's Law, in relation to the protection of right, which is especially established on the basis of the Labor Standard Act and the Labor Laws. However, there is still insufficient work protection, and also the Labor Laws of crew which follows peculiarity of sea work is limitative. This acts as a primary factor of evading of seafarer as an occupation. In other words, this is concerned with a mixed factor as social and international competition, discrimination of social system and suffrage, limitation for the collective Act right, job composition's boundary. It appeared to a reason that Korean seafarers have evaded labor at sea and limited the right for the collective Labor and Management Laws. As a matter of fact, seafarers' protection policy is negligent compared with the importance of marine transportation and fishing business. The improvement of individual labor conditions of the seafarer is being stagnant because it does not improve the problems to which collective labor relates. Thus, legislation policy must be improved to cultivate and Korean seafarers for comfortable and efficient transportation at sea. This paper reviews the actuality on the Collective Labor and Management Laws and proposes their modification and reform measures.
