RoK limits Vietnam guest workers again
VOV.VN - Deputy Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA) Doan Mau Diep on March 18 announced the Republic of Korea (RoK) has once again placed a 3,500 cap on the number of guest workers for the year.
Over the past three years, the RoK has only agreed to accept 3,000-3,500 workers annually, said Diep, as a result of the failure of workers to comply with the labour laws and return to Vietnam on schedule.
Diep said several years ago, the RoK was admitting 10,000-12,000 workers on average annually into the country on the guest worker program.
“We expect that workers will this year obey the laws so that we can resume a regular labour cooperation agreement with the country,” said Diep.
