우리나라 선원최저임금제도의 정착을 위한 노･사･정 역할에 대한 연구

In recently, In the aftermath of COVID-19, the social value of the job as a seafarers has become important. In addition, the global wage gap among senior maritime officers and engineers are being minimized amid a growing shortage of world-class maritime officers and engineers, such as a lack of experienced personnel on liquid cargo carriers and a shortage of advanced maritime officers and engineers. This means that although the gap in seafarer wages is gradually narrowing internationally, it is changing to a structure in which competitiveness in the global seafarer market is no longer lost if there is no specialized competitiveness in the field of maritime capability in Korea. The minimum wage for seafarers has been reflected from 1.3 to 1.5 times higher than the minimum wage for onshore workers in consideration of poor working conditions at sea. In the case of seafarers, unlike onshore workers, various complaints have been raised as the minimum wage is determined in a state that is not based on quantitative basic data that can be shared by tripartite labor, company and government. For example, there is no basic data that analyzes the process of collecting opinions for each industry for deliberation and determination of the minimum wage for seafarers, and the actual condition of seafarer labor and wages. And As there is no specialized deliberation and decision-making body such as the Minimum Wage Committee that applies to onshore workers, social waste is increasing due to unnecessary conflicts among tripartite. This study presents the issue of the application of the minimum wage system for seafarers and policy proposals for new roles of tripartite by analyzing the outline and characteristics of the wage system of domestic and foreign seafarers, and the system analysis and cases of the minimum seafarer wage system.
