부당해고 구제제도에 대한 소고

In this study, the authors have looked into the system in relation to unfair dismissal and compared it with other major countries. With this effort the authors were able to draw out the defects of the current system thereby proposing probable improvements. Here is the summary of the discussion: ① Our country has implemented Labor Relations Committee for the purpose of methodologically rapidness and easiness. However, having allowed juridic remedies along with that measure of committee, there coexist both the administrative and judicial remedies at the same time which in turn leads the cases of using both the measure simultaneously. This, being operated as if it were ‘five tier system’, rather delays the application of remedies. In cases of Germany and France, they have three tier system in appearance but greatly use the mediation process beforehand. Therefore, we also have the need of simplifying the current remedy system making it to be ‘Local Labor Relations Committee – Central Labor Relations Committee – Court of Appeals – Supreme court’ of four tier system. This simplification would lessen the burden of judiciaries and at the same time would reinforce the original function of the committees. ② Even if employees win, reinstatement is really hard to be applied as there is loss of trust in between employer-employee relations. To solve this problem, we should actively utilize the compensatory methods by using explicitly standardized table which reflects work experience, blame, etc. ③ As a third method, referencing German system, we should implement a system of letting litigants make a new contract mediated by Labor Relations Committe. In other words, when employer estimates employee’s reinstatement executively inappropriate, he or she can lessen the managerial burden of restoring the former labor relationship by addressing and proving the appropriateness of the change to the committee. In addition, when the committees play the role of mediator regarding the change of labor conditions, it is rational to expect that there will be less further disputes in terms of reinstatement. ④ Furthermore, if we adopt Legal-Tech to the trial process, it is well logical to expect that the number of cases allocated per each judge or investigator to downsize significantly, which would allow the cases to be processed more attentively. Thus, with all these systematical efforts, by unifying the channel, we could eventually promote economics of procedure.
