1. Introduction

Nowadays, most countries have many companies of different sizes and each has different employment relationships depending on the country’s policies and employment environment. In some countries, employees have considerable power, whereas in other countries, employers have most power. Therefore, this essay will focus on the employment relation of Korea and that of China over the past decade. How much power do employees or employers have in these two countries? In Korea, the power of employees is quite similar to that of employers.

2. 1. Employment environment in Korea

Korea has trade unions, which involve militant activity to maintain employees’ rights. Actually the Korean labor movement has been widely known as one of the most militant trade union movements in the world. Korean employment had changed through two big emergencies – the democratic labor movement in 1987 and the financial crisis in 1997. Firstly, the rise of the Korean labor movement caused significant changes in employment stability and pay systems. After the democratic labor movement, worker’s employment stability in the workplace increased and employers could not pay off employees intentionally. Also the movement caused union membership to grow quickly and workers required higher wages than previously. Before the labor movement, Korea had only the government-approved Trade Unions – the Federation of Korean Trade Unions (FKTU). However, this movement stimulated workers to make new trade unions called the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) which was illegal until 1997.
