Individual Labor Relations Law provides various types of system to receive employee opinions. The law prescribes a majority trade union, majority employees, representatives of majority employees, and labor and management committee as parties to decide on employee opinions. It also stipulates written agreement, consent, and consultation as the way to provide opinions. Based on the observation that complicated systems confuse parties involved and drop trust on the contents of the system, this research detects issues on the overall system to receive employee opinions and suggests how to improve the system. The system in general is not unified and organized and in part is lacking in legal principles. Given that, this study presents as a solution that the labor and management committee system will be developed into the 'labor and management agreement system' to be equipped with unity and that individual issues will be addressed in the process of development. Since this approach has not been attempted, this research may risk not reflecting all the necessary elements for analysis or not resolving incongruity between analyzed elements. I hope that this study will be the basis for the follow-up research in future which will provide an analysis and an alternative solution of more complete level.
