The Neoliberal Administrative Reform and the Changing Industrial Relations of German Civil Servant: Focused on the Characterist of Public Service Work Seung-Hyeob LEE The industrial relations of the German civil servant differ from the private industrial relations based on the private contract relations. Civil servant mentality that represent themself as a public service to the state and the status guarantee affects the restriction of the industrial relations in the public sector. But, due to the neoliberalism that introduced since the 1990s in the German civil servant society, the market principle of competition and performance have been dominating the civil servant sector. With the introduction of the New Public Management, the German industrial relations of civil servant have been transformed from the established industrial relations based on the publicity to the private industrial relations based on the market principle. The status guarantee of the civil servant became instable. The German civil servant doesn't want to accept anymore the restriction to their basic labour rights, such as collective bargaing and right to strike. In particular, the industry unions under the German Conferation of Trade Unions have tried to acquire gradually and persistently the right to bargain and the right to strike as a basic right of the civil servant. Therefore, the German civil servant industrial relations is showing more conflicts between the state and the trade union round on the civil servant mentality. The Conflict between the German state that want to change the nature of the civil servant service through the reform of state administration and the German trade unions that respond with the guarantee of basic labour rights means the drastic change of the German civil servant industrial relations.
