내가 일한 가치보다 받는 월급이 평가 절하되어있다고 생각한다면? 대표님의 노예, 회사의 부품이 된 기분이라면?

자본주의 안에서의 민주적 소유, 경제 민주화를 위한 생각을 읽어보세요 !

 

 

-한국에서 민주적 소유를 현실로 만드는 방법
민주적 소유권은 노동자가 협동조합이나 노동자 소유 기업을 통해 직장을 민주적으로 통제하는 경제 모델입니다. 이 모델은 보다 공평하고 지속 가능한 경제 시스템을 만들 수 있는 잠재력을 가지고 있기 때문에 최근 몇 년 동안 인기를 얻고 있습니다. 이 블로그 게시물에서 우리는 한국의 민주적 소유의 가능성과 이것을 현실화하기 위해 취할 수 있는 방법을 보여드리겠습니다.

-한국의 민주적 소유의 가능성
한국은 1920년에 최초의 협동조합이 설립된 강력한 협동조합 기업의 역사를 가지고 있습니다. 오늘날 한국에는 11,000개 이상의 협동조합이 있으며 150만 명 이상이 고용되어 있습니다. 그러나 이러한 협동조합의 대다수는 소비자 협동조합이며 소수만이 노동자 협동조합입니다.

그럼에도 불구하고 한국에서는 특히 소득 불평등과 사회 불안이 심화됨에 따라 민주적 소유에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있습니다. 2018년 한국의 노동자협동조합 그룹은 한국 노동자협동조합의 발전을 촉진하고 지원하기 위해 한국노동협동조합연합회를 결성했습니다.

-한국에서 민주적 소유를 실현하기 위한 단계
1. 인식 및 지원 구축
한국에서 민주적 소유를 실현하기 위한 첫 번째 단계는 이러한 경제 모델에 대한 인식과 지원을 구축하는 것입니다. 이는 민주적 소유권의 개념과 잠재적 이점을 소개하기 위한 공개 행사 및 워크숍 주최와 같은 교육 및 옹호를 통해 수행할 수 있습니다. 또한 노동자협동조합 설립에 필요한 법률 및 규제 변경을 촉진하기 위해 정책입안자 및 입법자와 협력하는 것이 필수적입니다.

2. 금융 이용
노동자협동조합 발전의 중요한 장벽 중 하나는 자금조달에 대한 접근성이다. 전통적인 대출 기관은 담보가 부족하고 금융 역사가 길지 않기 때문에 협동 조합에 대출하는 것을 주저할 수 있습니다. 따라서 협동조합이 자본에 접근할 수 있도록 지역사회 개발 금융 기관과 같은 대체 금융 옵션을 모색해야 합니다. 또한 세금 감면 또는 저금리 대출과 같은 정부 지원 및 인센티브는 노동자 협동조합의 발전을 장려할 수 있습니다.

3. 기술 지원 및 역량 구축
자금 조달에 대한 접근 외에도 협동조합은 성공을 보장하기 위해 기술 지원과 역량 구축이 필요할 수 있습니다. 여기에는 비즈니스 관리, 마케팅 및 협력 거버넌스에 대한 교육이 포함될 수 있습니다. 협동조합에 이러한 자원을 제공하면 역량을 키우고 성공 가능성을 높이는 데 도움이 될 수 있습니다.

4. 협업 파트너십
협력 파트너십은 노동자협동조합의 성공에 중요한 요소가 될 수도 있습니다. 여기에는 다른 협동조합, 비영리 단체 또는 정부 기관과의 파트너십이 포함될 수 있습니다. 협력적 파트너십은 자원과 전문 지식에 대한 접근은 물론 네트워킹과 협력의 기회를 제공할 수 있습니다.

5. 법률 및 규정 변경
마지막으로, 한국에서 노동자협동조합의 발전을 지원하기 위해서는 법적 및 규제적 변화가 필요합니다. 여기에는 세법, 노동법의 변경 및 협동조합을 위한 새로운 법적 구조의 생성이 포함될 수 있습니다. 노동자협동조합을 지원하는 법적 및 규제적 환경을 촉진함으로써 한국은 민주적 소유권 개발에 보다 유리한 환경을 조성할 수 있습니다.

- 결론
결론적으로 한국의 노동자 협동조합과 민주적 소유의 발전은 보다 공평하고 지속 가능한 경제 시스템을 만들 수 있는 잠재력을 가지고 있다. 이것을 현실로 만들기 위해서는 이 경제 모델에 대한 인식과 지원을 구축하고, 자금 조달 및 기술 지원에 대한 접근을 제공하고, 협력 파트너십을 구축하고, 협동조합을 지원하는 법적 및 규제 변화를 촉진하는 것이 필수적입니다. 이러한 조치를 취함으로써 한국은 민주적 소유권 개발의 리더가 되어 모두를 위한 보다 정의롭고 지속 가능한 미래를 만들 수 있습니다.

 

 

How to Make Democratic Ownership a Reality in Korea

Democratic ownership is an economic model where workers have democratic control over their workplaces, either through co-operatives or worker-owned enterprises. This model has been gaining popularity in recent years, as it has the potential to create a more equitable and sustainable economic system. In this blog post, we will explore the potential for democratic ownership in Korea and the steps that can be taken to make this model a reality.

Potential for Democratic Ownership in Korea

Korea has a strong history of cooperative enterprise, with the first cooperative established in 1920. Today, there are over 11,000 cooperatives in Korea, employing over 1.5 million people. However, the vast majority of these cooperatives are consumer cooperatives, with only a small number being worker cooperatives.

Despite this, there is growing interest in democratic ownership in Korea, particularly in response to the growing income inequality and social unrest. In 2018, a group of Korean worker cooperatives formed the Korean Worker Cooperative Association, which aims to promote and support the development of worker cooperatives in Korea.

Steps to Make Democratic Ownership a Reality in Korea

  1. Building Awareness and Support

The first step in making democratic ownership a reality in Korea is to build awareness and support for this economic model. This can be done through education and advocacy, such as hosting public events and workshops to introduce the concept of democratic ownership and its potential benefits. In addition, it is essential to engage with policymakers and lawmakers to promote the legal and regulatory changes necessary for the establishment of worker cooperatives.

  1. Access to Financing

One significant barrier to the development of worker cooperatives is access to financing. Traditional lenders may be hesitant to lend to cooperatives, as they lack collateral and may not have a long financial history. Therefore, alternative financing options, such as community development financial institutions, should be explored to provide access to capital for cooperatives. In addition, government support and incentives, such as tax breaks or low-interest loans, can encourage the development of worker cooperatives.

  1. Technical Assistance and Capacity Building

In addition to access to financing, cooperatives may also require technical assistance and capacity building to ensure their success. This can include training in business management, marketing, and cooperative governance. Providing these resources to cooperatives can help to build their capacity and increase their chances of success.

  1. Collaborative Partnerships

Collaborative partnerships can also be a critical factor in the success of worker cooperatives. This can involve partnerships with other cooperatives, non-profits, or government agencies. Collaborative partnerships can provide access to resources and expertise, as well as opportunities for networking and collaboration.

  1. Legal and Regulatory Changes

Finally, legal and regulatory changes are necessary to support the development of worker cooperatives in Korea. This can include changes to the tax code, labor laws, and the creation of new legal structures for cooperatives. By promoting a legal and regulatory environment that supports worker cooperatives, Korea can create a more favorable environment for the development of democratic ownership.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the development of worker cooperatives and democratic ownership in Korea has the potential to create a more equitable and sustainable economic system. To make this a reality, it is essential to build awareness and support for this economic model, provide access to financing and technical assistance, establish collaborative partnerships, and promote legal and regulatory changes that support cooperatives. By taking these steps, Korea can become a leader in the development of democratic ownership, creating a more just and sustainable future for all.
