Despite receiving an official letter from the International Labor Organization (ILO) mentioning 'intervention' in this situation, the union and the government are giving different interpretations.



Then, reporter Kim Soo-young covered how to view the controversial ILO intervention.

The expression in the official document that the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and others received from the International Labor Organization (ILO) was 'intervention'.



The government's position is that this 'intervention' is not a formal oversight process and that the ILO does not have the authority to judge the matter.



"It's just a simple opinion inquiry," said Choo Kyung-ho, Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs.



On the other hand, the union argues that it is unusual for the ILO to respond within five days of being sincere, and that this is the basis for taking the matter seriously.



It is said that the government's business start order violated basic rights such as freedom of association, and it was judged to be a violation of international agreements that guaranteed it.

ILO 'intervention' is not a compulsory force No 'strike' solution is sufficient.



In fact, in the midst of a large-scale strike by essential personnel such as nurses, paramedics and railway workers in the UK, which is actually experiencing an economic recession, last September, the British Trade Union Federation requested the ILO to intervene.

However, it is clear that it is an issue that falls under the responsibility of an ILO member country that has ratified the Basic Convention.

It is a common opinion among experts that the 'intervention' of the ILO should not be unconditionally evaluated apart from its legal binding force.
