The purpose of this paper is to study how much industrial relations can be co-operative in Korea. For the analysis, industrial relations are separated by the political and factory organizations. In the political organizations, Korea does not have the political party for the labor's interests. The conference among labor, management and government is the only one structure for co-operative industrial relations. In the conference, labors have the right for decision making participation in labor problems, but the decision of the conference has not the legal effect. In the factory organizations, labors do not participate in management but partly in the decision making of workshop. In the case of workshop, the level of labor's participation in decision making is very low. The function of the joint labor-management conference is strengthened for co-operative industrial relations, but the labor participation is in a low level with a few exceptions.
