The case the union of one hundred eighty six straight leaders for business losses incurred by the firm over the past twelve states tend to add onions. Earlier this week the Supreme Court made a landmark ruling include the record bonuses and allowances and normal wages above the decision was welcomed by labor groups that can now look for to rising wages. The Business Community is concerned about extra labor expenses for more on the conflicting views and the implications they can have on both labor and management. We bring in dr stone said the professor of law at the university pays for joining us again. Good evening. Some of the controversy over the scope and size of the ordinary places long been at the center of disputes how significant was the latest ruling by the Supreme Court well the roof of the ruling itself is not really a surprise because Supreme Court in other courts have been saying this is roughly the same thing about the standard of including something into the ward new age if its a regular and if its its it paid out without regard to the performances of those then it is or new age. I think the significance is that the korean way system has become a convoluted and distorted because of the lack of clear guidelines but less info i think theyll fix that and it did this uncertainties that they were facing because of this to the massive losses they were talking but probably that aspect isnt in many minds at this point because people know that there with the standard is so low. Let people say that they their remaining also to tease that could spell on loan last fall with the latest ruling the certainties for business groups they say it will be increased costs to think that this word really impacts negatively future batsman and growth for Korean Companies i think there will be some impact but i think it would be a short time and not as much as theyve been fearing they threw around the figures like thirty eight billion dollars that would cost them but they fit within a twenty four billion of them is about the losses than my face and boost for the effect of back pay for the past three years. The Supreme Courts in their tag as a whizz them come all the blocks on that route. So although theres some controversies probably visas will not worry too much about that big chunk of money going for it probably did fix the system and to adjust to do. This applies it demands in the labor market so long term prospect probably its not much of a big impact them there are also concerns that employees would enjoy it temporary and handsome leading priests but not so much in the long run i liked her cake. Probably the same reason because adjustment will be made from the business and i suspect that the National Assembly might get together and to do something about it because because of this clear guidelines. Probably they look good. Who are more effective than what we saw this kind of battle pitted against the big labor unions and the big business but whats missing has been the small to midsize farms cool might not have the collective bargaining arrangements the key evidence is that my brain to fit into this ruling is counted skimpy. So they can look at the uncertainties in terms of loss is there a more confined in Small Business sector. So i think the government has a role to minimize that circuit city think theres anything more that the government can do to clarify some of these remaining issues that are unclear in the labor laws are something that can create more of this what we mean environment. Probably if you had stepped back a little and the whole thing about this neighbor. And that the word new wages and battle between two has to do with the labor market in korea. The rigidity of it. And also the economic structure where did that the most of the good jobs are on the pic is in sight. I think the lead to job Security Issues is fueling this controversy and its also feeling the call really shoes and other labor related issues. So ultimately what government can do is deliver the promises they talked about the Creative Economy and growing the Service Sector and the smoke and it is a midsize businesses so that people were not so pinched about guarding their job to pay. I think is very much professor song for coming in today and for insight. Thank you. Before your dna.
