경륜사업의 운영 및 경륜선수 처우 상의 문제점과 제도 개선방안

The purpose of this paper is to identify the poor working conditions of bicycle athletes and to present institutional measures to improve them. Since the Corona Pandemic, the bicycle business has faced a serious crisis, and players who have relied solely on prize money income are seriously threatened with their livelihoods. In the following, several measures will be proposed to revive the purpose of the cycle racing business and strengthen the rights and interests of the athletes. First, the amount of prize money should be increased and the basic salary system should be introduced at the same time. Although most of the games have been suspended due to the Corona Pandemic, the players have not benefited from unemployment benefits or leave of absence benefits because they are not workers under the Labor Standards Act. The basic salary system is a minimum measure to ensure the players' right to survive. Second, institutional measures should be prepared to protect injured players. The compensation system for injured players should be strengthened. And the system should be improved so that injured players can return to the game after sufficient treatment and rehabilitation. Third, the objectivity and fairness of the referee's judgment and game allocation must be secured. Fourth, for the sustainable development of bicycle racing business, the win-win stance between labor and management must be well maintained.
