Orders to return to the predecessor’s site, etc.Demand for withdrawal of the ‘four follow-up measures’Welcome to the educational world “Resolving Conflicts”

The National Union of Teacher Workers (KTU) evaluated it as a “democratic victory” as the way to regain legal union status outside the chains of an “illegal union” in seven years, and urged the government to sincerely apologize and reinstate the teacher fired.

On the 3rd, the KTU held a press conference in front of the Supreme Court in Seocho-gu, Seoul, right after the Supreme Court’s ruling, and said: “The cancellation of illegal unions is aimed at raising the importance of of social justice and democracy for the growing future generation, and to remove the greatest educational obstruction. “




On this day, the Supreme Court alliance abolished the court case that the plaintiff was defeated in a lawsuit for canceling the extra-legal union notice provision filed against the Ministry of Employment and Labor and returned the case to the Seoul High Court on October 24, 2013. It appears that the entire KTU, which was expelled from the law after receiving a fax notification of ‘No’, will once again take the path of legalization.

The KTU said: “Unlawful unionization was the result of a non-governmental government group through the selective repression and court transactions of the Park Geun-hye regime. The process of the unlawful union struggle will be recorded as a ‘victory for democracy’ story “. At the same time, they demanded that the government cancel the ‘Notification of Non-Union’ and withdraw the ‘4 great follow-up measures’.

The four follow-up measures were the measures taken by the Ministry of Education, such as an order for the predecessor to return to the site after the entire KTU was defeated in the second trial for the cancellation of the illegal union in 2016, the fundraising support for KTU office, suspension of collective bargaining and loss of collective agreement, and termination of KTU members.

The KTU said: “The Moon Jae-in government must express a sincere apology to the KTU members on behalf of the state.” “It should take immediate action to restore the original status of 34 teachers fired due to illegal union.”

The educational community largely welcomed the Supreme Court ruling. The Education Ministry said: “We hope to resolve the long-standing conflict in education for more than 7 years with the Supreme Court decision and restore confidence in the law and the administration.” “Follow-up measures such as collective bargaining and reinstatement of the predecessor union and ex officio through consultation with related ministries. We plan to develop a plan and promote it.”

The National Council of City and Province Superintendents of Education said: “I look forward to the immediate implementation of follow-up measures, such as the return of laid off teachers to the denomination, and true education will flourish throughout the KTU.” However, the Korean Federation of Teachers’ Associations said, “I am concerned that the ruling may change depending on the political situation, and even the rule of law may be seen as an earthquake.”
