Foreign immigrant workers, as same as native workers, have rights at work and social security. But, in Korea, foreign immigrant workers have not. Somebody of them work as trainee, or others work in spites of illegal visa. So, to tell the truth, the employers have used to impose forced labor, delay to pay wage, disregard safety of workplace and accident compensation, and disturb freedom of association. Besides, national health insurance and accident compensation insurance has not been applied in their case.
The law and policy for foreign immigrant workers shall change form illegal work to legal work. The Act of Foreign Workers (2003) is well, for beginning work permit system, but not well, in that the system progresses partially.
We should persevere in one's efforts to acknowledge and accept foreign immigrant workers in our country, as someone of us.
