今週は、タイの労働組合と労働福祉委員会についてです。
Q.
タイの労働組合と労働福祉委員会の役割とその違いについて教えてください。
Please tell me the roll of Labor Union and Labor Welfare Committee and difference.
A.
労働組合と労働福祉委員会の役割は、労働関係法において以下のように規定されています。
The roll of Labor Union and Labor Welfare Committee is regulated in Labor Relations Act as below/
◆労働組合（労働関係法98条）
(1)組合員の労働について要求書を提出、交渉、合意、および仲裁判断を受けること。使用者または使用者委員会と合意
(2)労働組合の規約の範囲内で、組合員の利益になる活動
(3)求職に関する組合への助言
(4)仕事の管理および仕事に関する問題、課題を解決するための助言
(5)組合員の福利のため、または公共のために総会が適当と認める場合、金銭、財産を提供すること。
(6)労働組合の規約に定める金額の加入費、組合費を徴収すること。
Section 98 For the benefit of its members, the labor union shall have the powers and duties as follows:
(1) to make a demand, negotiation and acknowledge an award or enter into agreement with the employer or employers’ association for its members;
(2) to mange and perform any act for the benefit of its members subject to the objectives of the labor union;
(3) to provide information service so as to facilitate its members in making contact related to work seeking;
(4) to provide consulting service in solving any problem or eliminating any dispute related to business management and work;
(5) to provide services related to the allocation of money or properties to be welfare of its members or public interest subject to the resolution of the general meeting;
(6) to collect membership fees and dues at the rate as determined by the regulation of the employers’ association.
◆労働福祉委員会（労働関係法50条）
（１）労働者の福祉、福利厚生
（２）労使双方にとって有益となる服務規程の提案
（３）労働者の苦情の審議
（４）事業所における協調、紛争の解決
Section 50 The employer shall organize the meeting with the employee committee at least once every three months or upon request of more than one-half of the total number of the employee committee or the labor union for the following reasons:
(1) to provide employees welfare;
(2) to consult for the determination of working regulation which may be beneficial to the employer and employees;
(3) to consider complaints of the employees; and
(4) to compromise and settle disputes in the work place.
ポイントとして、労働組合と労働福祉委員会の違いはストライキ権（OT拒否含む）の有無となります。労働組合はストライキ権を持ちますが、労働福祉委員会はストライキ権を持ちません。
The main difference with Labor Union and Labor Welfare Committee is right of strike. Labor Union has right of strike, while Labor Welfare Committee doesn’t have it.
