Migrant Workers in Korea have been continuing the
sit-in struggle in
Myongdong for over 200 days for the legalization of
all migrant workers in Korea and against the
government's horrible
crackdown.
There are 400,000 migrant workers in Korea now. Until
1991, the Korean
government did not have any official policy for the
migrant workers even though
migrant workers had started coming into Korea since
1987. Most Migrant
workers were in terrible working conditions and
suffered lots of human rights
violations. As some migrant workers began to struggle,
the
government started so called "Trainee System", which
was based on the
Japanese
model. Under this trainee system, migrant workers are
not
protected
by any labor laws because they are not "workers" but
"trainees". They
cannot
change their work places and also they just get a
small amount of
pocket money under the name "subsidy".
As a result of the exploitative trainee system, lots
of "trainees"
became
undocumented migrant workers, so called, "illegal
workers". As
the undocumented portion of migrant workers increased
to 80% ,
problems such as violations of human rights, accidents
in the
factories, low wages etc., increased proportionately.
Under the pressure of the
human
rights movement, the government announced they would
going to start
"Employment
Permit System" from August in 2003, which is based on
the model of
Taiwan
and USA.
According to the EPS, migrant workers are able to work
in Korea for 5
years
in one lifetime. This time limit reveals the Korean
government's attitude toward the migrant workforce:
they are not welcome in the country as
viable members of the community but only as cheap,
expendable labour to be exploited. Worse, workers do
not have the freedom to change workplaces and must
they
must renew their contracts with their employers every
year. For this
reason,
they cannot say anything to their bosses in any bad
situation. The
moment
that the contract is terminated, they become illegal.
After passing the EPS bill in August, 2003 the
government launched a massive crack down on
undodocumented migrant workers in November, 2003.
Migrant workers desperately tried to shield themselves
from the crackdown. Some
hid in
their houses or factories, sometimes in mountainous
rural areas. Others went on
sit-in
struggles in solidarity together. Just one month after
the crackdown began, more than 10 migrant workers had
comitted suicide because death was preferrable to
returning home.
Many businesses have gone bankrupt in the absence of
the skilled workers they rely on.
The Myongdong Cathedral Struggle Team, composed of
Nepalese, Bangladeshi, and Indonesian workers, has
engaged in a continual sit-in on the cathedral grounds
since November 15th, 2003 against the
deceptive
EPS, and for the legalization of all migrant workers
in Korea.
The following is their demands.
1. Abolition of the Trainee System
1. Adoption of the Work Permit System
1. Labor's Three Primary Rights
1. Freedom to change workplace
1. Release All Migrant Workers in Detention Centers
