The National Labor Relations Commission upheld all three initial rulings in review cases involving contractors and subcontractors under the revised Trade Union and Labor Relations Adjustment Act, known as the "yellow envelope law."

The commission said on the 28th that it recognized the separation of the bargaining unit at Korea Airports Corp., in line with the initial ruling on the request for review. It dismissed the request for review of the bargaining unit separation decision at the Jeju Free International City Development Center, also in line with the initial ruling.

The commission also upheld the initial ruling, which had granted a request for review filed against the public notice listing the unions confirmed to bargain at Doosan Enerbility.
