The petitioners A, B and other employees of H, an incorporated association, filed a petition for remedy and retrial with the National Labor Relations Commission, claiming that the incorporated association H’s arrangement of their annual salary constitutes unjust punishment and unfair labor practices. 

They argued that the incorporated association H unfairly reduced their annual salary by intentionally undervaluing their performance assessment. In particular, they argued that such reduction of annual salary constitutes unfair labor practices because it was done immediately after they established the labor union. 

Representing the incorporated association H, JIPYONG’s Labor Team argued and proved that its arrangement of annual salary was made in accordance with appropriate procedures and reasonable standards. Especially, we stressed that the arrangement of annual salary challenged by the petitioners A, B and other employees was closed by settlement under the arbitration of the National Labor Relations Commission. Moreover, we argued and demonstrated that the incorporated association H never treated them unfavorably by reason that they led the establishment of the labor union, and the labor union was not substantially active.

Denying the claims of the petitioners, the National Labor Relations Commission rejected all of their petitions for remedy and retrial.
