Abstract: 본 연구는 쟁의행위로 인해 손해배상청구소송 및 가압류(이하 손배가압류) 실태와 이를 경험한 노동자의 건강을 파악하고자 2018년 비영리단체 ‘손배가압류를 잡자! 손에 손을 잡고’(이하 손잡고)가 실시한 설문조사 자료(N=231)를 이용하였다. 또한 해당 자료를 근로환경조사, 한국복지패널의 동일한 연령, 성별, 제조업 노동자 건강결과와 비교하였다. 연구결과, 응답자 중 손해배상 청구금액이 10억원 이상인 이들이 75.3%(N=174)를 차지했고, ‘점거에 따른 업무방해’가 주된 청구이유였다(74.5%, N=172). 응답자가 경험한 부당노동행위는 ‘노조활동을 이유로 인사고과 등에서 불리하게 평가받았다’(51.3%, N=119), ‘손배가압류 금액을 들먹이는 회유나 협박을 당한 적 있다’(29.7%, N=69) 등이 있었다. 소송과정 중 조합원이 50% 이상 감소했다는 응답은 74.1%(N=149)에 달했다. 근골격계 통증, 우울증상, 자살생각 등 모든 건강지표에서 손배가압류 노동자가 일반노동자에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 유병비를 보였다. 본 연구는 손배가압류 노동자 실태를 파악하고 건강상태를 조사한 첫번째 연구이다.

Strategic lawsuit and sequestration against labor union members (SLALU) have been an emerging issue in South Korea. However, no studies on the health of workers facing SLALU have been conducted. To investigate the characteristics of SLALU and the health status of workers under SLALU, we analyzed a nationwide survey about workers sued by SLALU (N=231) carried by Sonjabgo (NGO) in South Korea, 2018. This research found that 75.3% (N=174) answered the amount of compensation in SLALU was more than a billion Korean won. The most frequent reason for SLALU was ‘interference with business from occupation.’ In terms of unfair labor practices, 51.3% (N=119) reported ‘I received an unfavorable evaluation because of my union activities’, and 29.7% (N=69) ‘They conciliate or threaten me commenting SLALU.’ The respondents took up 74.1% (N=149) that union members reduced more than half during SLALU. Considering the health status, SPRs were significantly higher among workers under SLALU in every health condition. Our findings show that SLALU may play an important role in the decline of union members and workplace injustice.
