KOR-US FTA and the Labor Regulations of Kaesong Industrial ComplexMoo-Gi MoonIn the negotiating process of KOR-US FTA also, it had been brought up some criticisms which on the infringement upon the human rights of North Korean workers at Kaesong Industrial Complex(KIC). To solve theses problems and be recognized KIC as Outward Processing Zone, we might offer some proposals like these through survey about the labor regulations of KIC; At first, through the foundation of enterprise responsible for northern workforce supplement, South Korean enterprises can take the initiative in labor relationship from recruitment to termination and North Korean employees may have the feelings of belonging to their companies. The next is make northern employees do the best for their companies by the higher labor productivity. And we should prepare the environment for North Korean workers to take part in production management more actively and of themselves. The 3rd is the consolidation of direct paying system. If this system became not fixed, there could be room for doubt that the authorities of North Korea have stolen the wage of northern workers. The 4th thing is the democratization in the workplace. This means that the representatives of northern workers should be elected in clean and democratic way. Finally, it is requested for giving considerations to workers' welfare and equality, which ensure for the healthy and sound working conditions.
