On the 1st, President Yoon Seok-yeol exercised his right to reconsider (veto) the ‘Yellow Envelope Act’ (Amendment to Articles 2 and 3 of the Trade Union and Labor Relations Adjustment Act) and the ‘Three Broadcasting Acts’ (Broadcasting Act, Broadcasting Culture Promotion Association Act, and Korea Educational Broadcasting Corporation Act). did. This is the third exercise of the right to veto, following the revision of the Grain Management Act in April and the enactment of the Nursing Act in May. The Presidential Spokesperson’s Office issued a notice this afternoon, saying, “A little while ago, President Yoon approved the request for reconsideration of these bills.” Previously, the government held an extraordinary cabinet meeting at the Seoul Government Complex this morning, presided over by Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, and deliberated and decided on the request for reconsideration of the four bills. The Yellow Envelope Act expands the scope of employers under the Trade Union Act to include primary contractors and limits employers’ reckless claims for damages against striking workers. The three broadcasting laws are laws that seek to increase the number of directors of the Korea Broadcasting System (KBS), Munhwa Broadcasting (MBC), and Education Broadcasting (EBS) with the purpose of reducing political influence on public broadcasting. The two bills passed the plenary session of the National Assembly on the 9th, led by opposition parties such as the Democratic Party of Korea, with People Power Party lawmakers absent. With President Yoon exercising his veto, the two bills are effectively on the verge of being repealed. In order for a bill over which the President’s veto has been exercised to pass the plenary session of the National Assembly, it must receive the approval of a majority of registered lawmakers and more than two-thirds of the members present, but even if all opposition parties’ seats are combined, it falls short of that.
