South Korea. South Korea's basic laws concerning labor relations are similar to those in the United Stares. The South Korean Trade Union Act allows workers to organize, col-lectively bargain, and act in concert to achieve labor goals. However, for many years the government had direct control of the major labor union in the country. This is not so any longer, and as a matter of fact, South Korea recently passed legislation that allows multiple unions to represent different workers within the same organization. South Korean employ-ers are concerned that relations with employees will deteriorate due to this multiple-union system." About 10% of South Korea's workforce is currently unionized, but employers are worried that this will increase with the new law on multiple union representation."
