철도구조개혁의 고용승계 및 연금처리방안에 관한 비교연구

Abstract

Korean rail reform initiated by the central government suggests that the newly born organizations from rail reform will hire everyone who is former employee of KNR and KHRC and wants to get a job in those organizations. Korean rail reform also suggests that part of employees will maintain civil servant status and they move to the government organizations from KNR and KHRC. This study finds out that Germany and Austria permit former civil servants to maintain civil servant status in the railways after rail reform. that France and Austria maintain the advantage of early retirement for pension in the rail sector, and that none of countries allows employees to lose their economic interests which includes the pension payment through rail reform. Alternative matrix based on civil servant status, civil and private pension, wages, job security and work place rules are developed and analyzed. If civil servant status could not be continued, the new wage system should compensate the difference between civil servant pension and private pension and the loss of the tenure if any. Even in the case of the loss of civil servant status, tenure could be alive. New workplace rules are to be applied to all alternatives. This study makes it clear that the government should suggest a few alternatives to employees and at least allow them to choose the best.
