Education materials distributed by Gyeonggi Province regarding the recently revised South Korean labor law, often referred to as the “Yellow Envelope Law,” are facing criticism for allegedly advising educators to avoid identifying employers in labor disputes. The law aims to protect workers engaging in collective bargaining by broadening the definition of “employer” to include those indirectly controlling labor conditions. Critics argue the materials suggest circumventing the law’s intent by omitting employer details, potentially hindering workers’ ability to negotiate effectively. The province maintains the materials were intended to provide a neutral explanation of the law and avoid pre-judging specific cases. The controversy centers on the interpretation of “user responsibility,” a key component of the revised legislation. Opposition parties have demanded clarification and a revision of the materials, alleging they undermine the law’s protective measures for workers. The materials were created to assist educators in explaining the new law to students and stakeholders.
