According to change of business environment, the company has required not only profit but also social responsibility for profitable growth. However, these changes are not only applies to the company.

기업이 살아남기 위해서는 이윤을 추구해야 하는 것 뿐 만 아니라 사회적 책임이 요구된다. 이러한 사회적 책임은 비단 기업 뿐 만이 아니라 기업의 하위시스템인 노동조합에도 사회적 책임이 요구된다. 그러나 이러한 노조의 사회적 책임(Union Social Responsibility, 이하 USR)에 대한 실행사례와 이에 대한 연구는 미미한 것이 사실이다. 노동조합이 지속적으로 생존하고 그 역할을 다하기 위해서는 조합원들만의 기대를 충족시키는 것은 기본이고, 비노조원, 지역사회 등 노동조합과 관련된 이해관계자들의 기대를 충족시켜야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 노조의 사회적 책임에 대해 우리나라에서는 선도적이라 할 수 있는 LG전자 노동조합의 USR사례를 살펴보았다. LG전자 노동조합은 2010년 USR을 도입하면서 노동운동의 변화를 추진하였고, 지역사회와 취약계층에 대한 봉사와 파업 자제를 통한 산업평화 확립, 환경보호 등과 같은 내용의 USR을 실천하였으며, 국내 사업장 뿐 만 아니라, LG그룹 내부 및 해외사업장에도 이를 전파하였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 LG전자 노동조합의 사례를 통해 사회적 존재로서의 노동조합의 새로운 길에 대해 모색하고자 한다.
