한국 노동조합의 전략조직화 사업의 의의와 한계 - 민주노총 금속노조의 사례를 중심으로 -

The organizing of trade unions does not exist only in the aspects of strategic organization projected by the organizational model. However, the results of research that consider how the existing labor union goes through the process of strategic organizing project are scarce. The transformation of existing unions into an organizational model requires two major changes and adaptations. First, it is necessary to prioritize unorganized organization and change the organizational structure and culture of the union so that it can be transformed into ‘organizing union’. Second, the necessity of a ‘field enlargement’ strategy. During the 2000s, Korean Metal Workers’ Union(KMWU) has been organizing small and medium-sized workers and the unorganized in large factory sites. But the KMWU has been developing strategic organizing projects by accumulating unorganized funds because of the limits of daily organizing projects since 2015, The results revealed so far are not enough to transform the organization into a ‘organizing union’ in terms of organizational system and resource mobilization. And there is a lack of a ‘field enlargement’ flow of organizing projects through mobilization and activation of members. This is because the leadership of large corporations and the identity of regular workers are the obstacles to organizing the unorganized. In the face of massive retirement of trade union members, the KMWU will also change its identity through the newly organized working class. How the KMWU’s identity comes down depends on the outcome of strategic organizing projects.
