flag South Korea passes labor law reforms expanding rights for subcontracted and platform workers.

flag South Korea's National Assembly has passed amendments to the Trade Union and Labor Relations Adjustment Act, known as the Yellow Envelope Law, which expands bargaining rights for subcontracted and platform workers and restricts employers' ability to claim damages for strikes. flag The law, effective after a six-month grace period, protects workers from joint liability for damages and allows unions to include non-worker members, enhancing protections for platform and special-contract workers. flag This move, led by President Lee Jae Myung's Democratic Party, reverses policies from the previous conservative administration.
