[Lim Woong] Huang’s four gifts: Are we ready for them?

Jensen Huang's recent visit to Seoul was far more than a high-stakes business excursion or a series of curated photo-ops over the ubiquitous “chimaek” (chicken and beer). While the sight of an influential tech CEO and three chaebol leaders enjoying the local nightlife provided a certain charm, it signaled a tectonic shift in the global AI landscape. When the CEO of one of the world’s most influential companies in AI computing infrastructure speaks of offering Korea “four gifts,” he is not extend

한국경영자총협회(경총)가 미래 신사업과 국가 주력 산업의 발전을 가로막던 불합리한 규제 개선 사례를 공개하며 정부의 과감한 규제 개혁을 촉구했다. 경총은 8일 반도체와 미래 신사업, 경영 애로 분야 등에서 개선된 규제 10건을 발표했다. 경총은 2022년부터 ‘규제개혁 핫라인’을 통해 현장의 규제 개선 과제를 발굴해 정부에 건의해 왔다. 경총에 따르면 미래 신사업 분야에서는 비대면 진료의 법적 근거가 마련됐다. 코로나 팬데믹 기간에 한시적으로 허용됐던 비대면 진료는 관련 법적 근거가 부족해 제도 운영에 한계가 있었다. 그러나 지난해 의료법 개정으로 근거 규정이 신설되면서 재진 환자와 의원급 의료기관을 중심으로 올해 12월부터 시행될 예정이다. 전기차를 ‘움직이는 에너지저장장치(ESS)’로 활용하는 양방향 충·방전(V2G) 기술도 제도화에 속도를 낸다. 정부는 관련 상용화 마스터플랜을 조만간 발표할 예정이다. 주차로봇 역시 아파트와 다세대주택 단지 등에 설치할 수 있도록 법령 개

LS일렉트릭사무노동조합, 산별노조 전환하며 민주노총에서 새출발

범LG계열의 LS일렉트릭 사무직 노동자들이 소수노조의 한계를 이겨내고, 회사의 노조탄압에 대항하고자 산별노조인 화섬식품노조에 가입했다. LS일렉트릭은 1974년 금성계전으로 시작하여 LG산전, LS산전을 거쳐 2020년 LS일렉트릭으로 사명을 변경했다. 전력기기, 자동화솔루션, 스마트에너지(태양광, ESS, HVDC) 등을 제조 및 공급하는 전력 인프라 기업이다. 용산, 안양, 청주, 천안, 부산 등에 주요 사업장을 두고 있다. 전체 직원은 약 3400명이다. LS일렉트릭사무노동조합은 2022년 평가시스템 개선, 복지향상 및 임금피크제 철폐를 요구하며 LS그룹내 첫 사무직 노조로 출범했다. 기업노조로 설립한 노조는 '공정한 보상'과 '평가 시스템 개선' 등을 요구했으나, 복수노조 하에서 한국노총 소속 생산·기사직 노동조합이 교섭대표노조가 됨에 따라 회사와 직접 교섭을 진행하지 못했다. 노조에 따르면, 노조는 교섭에 참여하지는 못해도 회사 측의 불합리한 관행 등에 대해 꾸준히 문제를 제기하면서, 노동환경 개선을 위해 노력했다. 노조의 진정 등으로 LS일렉트릭은 2023년 근로기준법 위반 등의 건으로 노동부로부터 세 차례 시정지시를 받았다. 2025년에도 근로기준법 위반으로 세 차례 시정지시를 받았다. 2024년에는 산업안전보건법, 개인정보보호법 등에 의한 행정지도를 세 차례 받기도 했다. 전체 내용보기

Deeper Seoul-Tokyo military ties need 'sincere' apology for colonial past: Lee
