노조 조직화 이론에 대한 비판적 검토- 노동자와 노동조합의 이해 조응을 중심으로-

초록

Korea‘s union density is very low and continues to decrease. Because of various problemscaused by low unionization rates, scholars and activists have often made a proposal that tradeunions have to recruit irregular worker, as well as regular workers. However, we need to revieworganizing theory as unionization problems are seldom getting better. When this paper reviews a various theories over unionization, it pays a special attention to theinterest correspondence between labor and union. In this paper, theories are divided into twogroups: ⅰ) theories based on workers' interests(union demand theory, mobilization theory), ⅱ)theories based on unions' interests(servicing model theory, organizing model theory). Accordingto type classification of unionization, we criticized the theories and suggested 2 propositions andvarious of implications. This paper does not fully take into account various variables influencing unionization, inparticular, such as anti-unionization strategies and interest of employer and government. Therefore, future research needs to re-categorize the existing unionization theory and adoptvarious research methods such as a case study, a comparative study and an empirical study toexplore other unionization factors as well as articulate this paper's findings.
