Labor, pension and education reforms together

[박영범 한성대 명예교수(경제학)] (전략)The society distrusts unions more than large companies. According to a 2021 survey by the Korea Institute of Public Administration, more people (52.2 percent) distrusted labor unions than large companies (43.3 percent). In the same survey in 2013, the distrust ratio was 66.4 percent for large companies and 58 percent for unions. Social trust has reversed for large companies and unions. 

Public opinion on strikes by labor unions also turned sour. According to the National Barometer Survey in November 2022, a whopping 58 percent called for a restraint in their strikes, while 34 percent did not see any problem with them. The findings were similar in a Hankook Research poll in 2022. While support for strikes to demand wage hikes was merely 23 percent, approval for strikes for the conversion of irregular workers to the regular status was just 31 percent.(후략)
