It had been prohibited for labor union to give support to a certain political party or to go on election campaign in order to make a certain person win an election, but it was permitted recently. Old clause of 'Labor Union and Labor Relations Mediation Act', which was criticized as restricting political fundamental freedom, was eliminated in 1997.But the election campaign as the name of an organization was prohibited as before. Nowadays, when the related laws is revised, I cannot accept the views not admitting all union activities, which are to be protected by means of unfair labor practices. The definite range of union's political activities, which are directly related to working conditions, are to be protected. When we consider that the range of legitimate labor activities should reflect contemporary conditions including the realities of modern welfare state, that activities should be protected. If an union labor member infringes a decision of labor union about political activities, can control measures such as expulsion and discipline be made or not? Recently this issue was debated, too. Legal restrictions against political activities of normal labor union was greatly mitigated. But, there are restriction clauses related to the labor union of public officials. This clauses are under the controversy about the revision. In the last election for members of the National Assembly in 2004, the labor union of public officials and teachers objected to this clauses in public. I have a opinion never to restrict excessively the political freedom of pubic officials. Typical examples are Article 65 and Article 66 of 'the Government Officials Act'. But I agree to the clause prohibiting political activities of the labor union of public officials.
