  26. Korean Metal Workers’ Union

  27. 인도네시아와다르다.. • 한국노조는 산별노조에 기반.. • 단협, 재정, 권한 • 단협 여기선 매우 힘든데.. 노동부 규칙으로 산별연맹 교섭막고 있어..단체교섭 지원이 불가능.. • Until 1998, the “3rd party intervention” in union activity not allowed. • 1987: Company unionism; 2001, 2006 • 1987~2006: • 1998~2006 • 2001~2006

  28. 중앙교섭.. 하는 나라는? • 중앙교섭 성사를 위한 단계? • 제안하고 싶다. 우리는 모범 단협을 가져야 하는데, 사용자협회, 병원협회, 화장품협회 등과 임금을 논의하곤 한다.. • 그런데 사업장 수준 조건이 너무 다르다. 노동법은 쉽게 단협에 넣을 수 있으나, 단협이 다른 내용이고 수준이 다른데 어떻게 중앙으로 통일하나? • 최저수준…

  29. 한국에서는 어떻게 여성노동자를 조직하는가.. 여성 노조간부를 어떻게 양성하는가.. 부위원장은 1명만 여성인데, 너무 적은 것 아닌가… • 역사적으로… 여성간부 교육, 반드시 여성할당… 30%... 44 (16명) • 단협.. 여성 관련.. 임금 차이나 혜택 차이가 남자와 비교할 때 있는가…여성위원회 요구안. 만든다…

  30. 정치 문제… 산별노조은 정치와도 밀접히 관련되어 있는데, 10년전 한국노동운동은 정치와 관련해서 어땠나? • 지금 인도네시아는 노동당을 만들기도 힘들고, 기존 정당을 지지하는 수준이다. • 단협.. 임금 문제가 있고,, 자카르타 최저임금은 중부 자바와 최저임금 수준이 다른다.. 한국의 최저임금은 어떻게 결정되나 지역마다 다른가? • FSPMI 연맹이 가장 산별노조에 근접한 듯 한데…

  31. 한국에는 연맹 대신에 금속 산업에서. 다른 노조도 있느냐. 금속노조 말고… • 단협.. 중앙교섭, 지역교섭, 사업장교섭에서 뭐가 다르냐. 의제 등에서… 중복 아니냐… • 산별노조론은 인도네시아에서는 법도 바꾸고, 노조규약도 바꾸고 다 바꾸어야 하는데, 다국적기업도 한국에서 많이 와 있고.. 그런데 인도네시아는 자국 대자본기업이 없다… 주력이 없다.. 산별노조 추동력이… • 기본은 법이고.. 중앙교섭은 주요 내용이네..

  32. 노동법… • 2008년 FTA... 파업… • 금속노조 계획… 간부결심.. 교육…
