In South Korea, 81.6 percent of civil servants were a part of a public sector trade union in 2018. According to the source, the law for public sector trade unions was passed in 2006. The legal legitimacy of the Korean Government Employees' Union had an impact on the number of registered members and membership rates for public sector unions. The aforementioned union had lost its legal legitimacy as a trade union in 2006 but regained it in 2018.
