Abstract
This study focused on the strategic choices of trade unions and management in order to identify how industrial relations are formed and changed. The employer’s negotiation strategy was divided into coercion and inclusion strategy, and the union’s response strategy was divided into struggle strategy, conformity strategy, and compromise strategy. Using the Daegu Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation as an case study, the labor-management relationship of the past 25 years is divided by period to examine how the strategic choices of labor and management change. As a result of the case analysis, it was found that the strategic choices of labor and management during each period were formed into four types through interaction: collusive, antagonistic, subordinate, and cooperative labor-management relations. This study has implications in terms of looking at the strategic choices of labor and management in an integrated way, and expands the existing discussion in that it suggests that employer’s negotiation strategies can play an important role in workplace relations, not just the ideological tendencies of the union.
