‘주간연속 2교대제’를 둘러싼 쟁점과 과제 - 현대자동차 사례를 중심으로

A daytime two-shift is emerging as a keyword that defines Hyundai Motor Company’s industrial relations. Since Hyundai Motor Company has agreed to operate the daytime two-shift system in 2005, this agreement was reaffirmed every year up to 2008. However, whether it will take effect is still questionable. This essay discusses the development of the daytime two-shift system and surrounding issues within Hyundai Motor Company. In 2008, the agreement was so focused on maintaining wage level and production quantity that it lacked the will to decrease working hours, also the interest in establishing flexible working system to complement the decreased working hours. Whether it be in the view of industrial relations or improvement of production system, it is difficult to imagine a successful system without the implementation of daytime two-shift system. Hence, there is a need for the both sides to recognize working hour policies as instruments for changes and to actively seek the realization of change in shift system. In order to achieve this system, this essay examines in detail △reduction of working hours, △establishment of flexible working system, △preparation of M/H standards and improvement of agreement system, △maintenance of wages, △enforcement timeline, and △promotion system. In this discussion, procuring long-term values that can be shared between the trade union and management to escape ‘overworked Hyundai’, and at the same time, whether both sides can escape short-termism in the name of economic unionism and production centrism will be the central issues.
