The socioeconnomic regulatory model that had underpinned labour law since the beginning of the twentieth century is in the throes of a crisis. Important national differences aside. that industrial model may be ideally or typically described as a regulatory framework which depends on a standardized form of subordination. the widespread nuclear family and the institutionanlization of the parties who have an interest in collective bargain ning, all within a national state.
From an institutional standpoint. this model may be seen as a triangle whose three sides are companies. trade unions. and the state. Where internal organization is concerned. Fordist companies engage primarily in the mass production of fairly standard products. they systematically separate the design and implementation stages of production. stanndard employment relationships are based on employee-employer relatinship(subordinate work). in which the former. whose training lasts for a reatively short period of time. is pater familias(a male breadwinner) and hired on open-ended terms to provide services defined by his job description. Fordist trade unions are active organizations centred not around specific trades(as in the previous corporatist model) but around businesssectors. The key bargaining level is the industry(with the exception of the Unided Kingdom. where the company level has always predominated). The state is Keynesian-aian-aiming primarly to maintain domestic demand. national-protecting its domestic markets from foreign competition-and conciliatory-instituting machinery for social bargaining. Lavour law. and the social protection deriving from it. tend to become standardized in the sense that they favour employment relationships theat fall into a single pattern and guarantee workers passive individual security. uniform woeking hours. relatively independent collective bargaining and a special status for civil serbants. associated with the notion of public serbice.
We cannot fail to see that all three sides of that triangles are collasping. the internal reorganization of businesses has altered the distinction between design and implementation. particularly as a result of the emergence of production dedicated more to non-standard goods:as a consequence. employment reationships have become more flexible. involving long or continuning worker training. Women have entered the lavour market en masse. thereby undermining the patriarchal Fordist model. Stable employment is being replaced by more casual working arrangements which are not defined exclusively in rerms of job or position. Trade unions, in turn, in the face of the unemployment brought about by the economic crisis, have been obliged to redifine their role: no longer concerned solely with male wages and working conditions, they also deal with issues such as employment, company survival, and gender equality. Finally, the State has abandoned its Keynsian policies in favour of antiinflationary strategies and budgetary control, turning its attention to maintaining competitive conditions.
Therfore labor law receives the epoch of conversion. Traditional labor law is forced by the change of social fundamental as background. However traditional notion of labor law. worker's protection caused paralysis of domestic theory of labor law. Labor law that one of the subsystem support a ordinary operation is a part of lefal system. In a broad sense, labor market system is prescribed in the law.
Tt is impossible that labor law of Korea depends on the idea of worker's protection in a mordern industrializational soceity. Now, it is the time to search for the change of labour law for the development. This thesis based on these opinion suggests a theme and revaluates the role of labor law in a labor market structure.
To promote employment and to conquer unemployment, the reconstruction of labour law should embrace the following first, the labour law must reflect the principle of the market conforming to the order of the market economy; second, it ought to introduce the principle of competition based on the concept of labour cost; and the chird, it should adopt the automatic disappearance of regulation as the basic principle on the basis of reguired protection. Concretely, the reconstruction of labour law has to push forward the promotion of labour demand, the flexibility of labour supply and a mechanism to improvement labour demand and supply from a market policy viewpoint.
To comply with the era of the digital economy, labour law shuold be more flexible and support the productivity and competitiveness of the enterprise. Rather rhan thought of one-sided protection for employees, only labour law that respects the orders of competetion and coincides with the orders of the market economy can contribute to job creation and unemployment reduction. Therefore, this new labour law can promote efficiency and equity and at the same time, adjust the relationships between employers: employers and employees; and the employed(insiders) and the unemployed(outsiders).
Finally, In a broad sense, the employment is created by outside of corporation even if there is a limit on the assumption of corporation. The theoty of corporate governance as take a serious view of stock holder's interest is a potential of change takennotie of importance in a outside corporation employment.
