On August 24, 2025, Korea’s National Assembly passed the so-called “Yellow Envelope Act” by a vote of 183 to 3, with the conservative opposition party boycotting the vote. The president is expected to quickly sign the bill into law and promulgate it, after which it will become effective six months later, probably in late March 2026. This new law represents a seismic pro-labor shift in Korea’s already union-friendly legal regime. |
