신계륜 국회 환경노동위원회 위원장은 자타가 공인하는 환경노동 전문가로 꼽힌다. 이는 그의 지난 활동들을 들여다보면 쉽게 파악할 수 있다. 신 위원장은 1980년대부터 10여 년간 산업현장을 직접 누비며 노동 인권 운동에 앞장서 왔다. 이후 그는 1992년 14대 국회에서 입성한 후 환경노동위원회에 몸을 담으면서 근로자들의 안전을 위한 활동을 시작했다. 또 16대 국회에서는 현장중심의 의정활동을 본격적으로 펼쳐 나갔다. 당시 환노위 법안심사소위원장 재임시절에 노동계와 재계의 합의를 이끌어 내면서 주5일 근무제를 도입시킨 것이 대표적이 예라고 할 수 있다. 그리고 19대 국회에서는 그동안의 환경노동 관련 경험을 인정받아 전반기 환경노동위원회 위원장에 선임됐다. 이처럼 그는 환경노동 분야에서 잔뼈가 굵은 전문가 중에 전문가라고 할 수 있다. 그만큼 신 위원장의 의정활동에는 많은 이들의 시선이 집중되는 것이다. 이에 신계륜 환노위 위원장을 만나 앞으로의 계획과 우리나라 산업안전문화에 대해 여러 이야기를 나눠봤다.

"21세기는 환경의 세기라고들 합니다. 그러나 현실적으로는 개발 우선 논리에 환경이 뒷전에 밀려있는 느낌이 듭니다. 하루빨리 의식전환이 필요합니다." 17대 국회 2기 환경노동상임위 수장 직에 취임한 홍준표 국회환경노동위원장은 환경의 중요성을 힘 있게 강조한다. 그는 최근 일련의 현안 즉 한미 FTA, 미군부대 오염, 환경부-건교부 통합론 등 다양한 환경적 당면과제를 국회 차원에서 슬기롭게 해결할 채비를 갖추고 있다. 환경을 대변하는 국회 환경노동위원회를 이끌어갈 홍준표 위원장의 소신이 그 어느 때보다 중요한 시점이다 이에 본지는 지난 7월 13일 국회 환노위 위원장실에서 홍 위원장을 만나 국내외 환경현안을 어떻게 파악하고 있는지, 그리고 앞으로 환경노동위원회를 어떻게 이끌어갈 것인가에 대해 들어봤다.

This paper aims to analyze the Award wage system in Australia for construction workers. Considering low wages and precarious employment situation of construction workers in general, it is of advantage especially for them in Australia. Furthermore, it seems to be instructive for Korean construction workers, who stand in more precarious and unstable situation and furthermore are lack of fair wage and social safety. After strong and longstanding labour struggle in the late 19th century in Australia, it has been established a tripartite institution called as 'tribunal' between trade unions, employers, and the government. Under the highly institutionalized form of industrial relations, it functions as an arbitration and conciliation system between labour and management. The Award wage system stands in the middle point. This Award wage system including various welfare provisions is settled by the tribunal, today renamed as Fair Work Commission. In this wage system should be defined level of minimum wages according to the various skill levels, which are in turn connected with compulsory superannuation and Medicare as well as vocational education and training. Furthermore, it provides especially for the construction workers, who suffer from job instability, so-called 'portable benefits', which relate to long service leave and redundancy pay. Considering general conditions of precarious construction workers in Korea, In that respect, the Australian Award wage system would be very instructive for our social wage and safety system for construction workers.

The Korean system of labor adjudication on the cases of unfair dismissal and unfair labor practices has been criticized by labor and management in spite of the strong point that the Labor Relations Commission processes the cases quickly. This paper empirically investigates the effectiveness of labor adjudication dealt by the Labor Relations Commission with economic approach. It shows that the grievences of labor and management on the existing labor adjudication system have come from the inadequate processes of labor adjudication rather than the favorable or unfavorable ruling. It also shows that a major deterrent to make an effective labor adjudication system has been not the problems of the selfish attitude and expectation of labor and management but the improper attitude and quality of the member and staff of the Labor Relations Commission.

In order to enhance the national competitiveness of the korean knowledge economy it is necessary to establish new, cooperative industrial relations. In the past mass production economy the technological innovations generally substitute the real assets for the labour so that the interest conflict between employers and employees was inherent and the resistance of the labourers to innovations was unavoidable. In the knowledge economy, however, the real assets and the labour are complementary to each other and the investments in skills and education bring increasing returns. These are the most important reasons for the common interest of employers and employees in improved skills and advanced education. In the knowledge economy, therefore, establishing and maintaining the cooperative industrial relations is a necessary condition to maximize the value creation, where in Korea the 'Tripartite Commission' can and has to play a active role.
