Migrant Workers Suffer From Long Hours, Low Wages and Accidents Kyungnam Center for Migrant Workers, "No Difference After EPS"


Migrant workers still suffer from long working hours, low wages, and dangers of industrial accidents.

The Kyungnam Center for Migrant Workers said that they found this in a survey for 400 migrant workers in 300 companies in South Kyungsang Province.

The Center reported that most of the migrant workers worked more than 8 hours a day: 47% (188) of the surveyed worked an average of 11-12 hours a day, 20% (79) worked 9-10 hours, and 17% (69) worked 7-8 hours.

Nevertheless, migrant workers still suffer from low wage system. The survey found an average monthly salary was 1,327,900 Won which included overtime allowances for long working hours. Therefore, the returns for migrant workers are minimum wages.

Interesting finding of the survey was that the average wage for un-registered migrant workers was higher than that of registered migrant workers. Registered migrant workers' average wage was 1,273,700 Won (161) while that of unregistered migrant workers was 1,406,000 Won (111).

The finding can also be explained that companies need experienced migrant workers who can increase productivities. However, it is clear that the current short-cycle of 3-5 years of EPS cannot meet the demands of the companies.

However, since the current wage system of EPS cannot guarantee any wage increase according to their work years and experiences, only an epochal change in the policy direction on the part of the government could bring an escape for migrant workers under the bridle of low wages.

The Center also reported that the realities regarding industrial accidents and health and safety education were seriously poor.

The high percentage of 33%, 3 out of 10 workers, reported that they have experienced industrial accidents, and 16% of them said they paid for their medical treatments for the accidents.

The Kyungnam Center for Migrant Workers said that the results are the barometers for the poor labor environments for migrant workers, and that the results also show that the required safety educations for companies with high accident elements have not been provided.

The Kyungnam Center for Migrant Workers said "While the Korean government has changed its foreign labor policy into EPS, the poor wage system of long hours and low wages in the manufacturing industry has not been changed." The center asserted, "As long as the government is busy with low wage strategy of marginal firms which create low added-values, the infringements on labor and human rights of migrant workers are inevitable."

oo ,as in super naabuso talaga ang mga migrant workers,totoo yan,siempre ang filipino takot mawalan ng trabaho kaya kinikimkim na lamang ang sama ng loob ,,masakit kya sa loob na pinagtrabahuan at pinagpaguran mong overtym tapos di namn ibibigay ng tama at patas. ewan kuba jan sa gobyerno natin ,tapos basta basta na lang pumipirma sa mga kasunduan kahit alam na hindi basta basta ang pinagpapaguran ng mga migrante dito(parang bina bargain ang mga lakas ng migrant workers) bagkus pagandahin ang bagong eps contract ngaun e,,naku naging dis -advantage pa,bakit ,,tanungin yang secretary ng labor(mr. roque)

at kung tatanungin mo namn ang koreano. ay pagkagaling galing nila(parang perpekto sa trabaho)magaling nga sila in a way pero minsan di nila napapansin ung atin pagod(minsan). ang sakit pa akala mo sila lang ang tao kung laitin ang pilipino

marami din namn ako kakilalala at naging kaibigang koreans na malaki ang respeto sa kagaya kong pilipino,,pro paanu namn ang mga pilipinong inaabuso at minamaltrato ng korean ,sinasaktan, at niloloko. anu gagawin mo ikaw na naka assign sa ganitong sitwasyon? kumilos kb? may ginawa kb?

dapat e bigyan ng malaking atensyun ng atin pamahalaan/gobyerno ang mga kapakanan ng OFW,,kaya umunlad ang korean several years ago ay dahil sa mga nangibang bansang koreano sa ibat ibang parte ng mundo.

Ang hirap kase minsan ang gobyerno natin ay tutulog tulog(hindi kaya madalas pa na tulog???nagtatanung lang po!!!!)
(busy ATA sa pagpapayaman????) papoyo

lagi ko naalala ang PANGAKO ni PGMA nung huli nyang bilin kay mr .Roque - nagbilin siya kay mr .roque para sa documentation ng mga TNT,, sabi nya(PGMA) tutulungan nya ang mga undocumented or tnt dito sa korea,,

ayun ,, extensive crackdown na naman ,siguro pag may mga nasaktan na by force detention at sa sobrang takot ay mamatay na lamang bigla sa nerbiyos ang tnt at saka aasikasuhin at kikilos ang gobyerno(OIC )para sa ang mga illegal workers, buti nalang kahit panu may mga CHR human rights,,,

imagine before nagka recession di man lang dinagdagan ung panahon ng paghahanap ng work (2months pa rin) dapat un inextend dahil hirap kaya maghanap ng work- meron nga ko fren si regina EPS siya wla pa siya 1 year nirelease siya ng company nya (mahina daw).
e halus lahat mahina sa walang availbale job at kung meron man kulang sa dami ng walang work na foreigner.. sa madaling salita na tnt siya ,,kailan lang nahuli siya ng immigration dahil wla nag renew sa knya visa..

ang ibig ko lang sabihin hindi lahat ng TNT dito sa korea ay kasalanan nila kung bakit naging tnt sila (siguro malas lang siya dat tym)

ang tanung anu ginawang tulong ng gobyerno kay regina? WALA PO ,WALANG NAITULONG SA KANYA. AKO NGA HINAHANAP KO SIYA E SA WALA TALAGANG WORK SA LABOR NUNG Na RELEASE SIYA Eh ,WALaNG TRABAHO PARA SA BABAE dat tym..

sana man lang kumilos ang gobyerno natin na i extend during recession ung 2 months di puba???

meron pang isa issue jan,, mrami ako nasaksihan company na ubod ng pangit ang regulation sa company at labas pasok ang nireregister nila sa labor,, tatatangpin ang pilipino tapos tatanggalin ng ilang araw or weeks lang,,bakit ganun kaluwag ang labor sa company ang mga yan,,chinggu(close ba sila) ba nila tga labor office? wala sila pakialam kahit last release na lang nung tao,,kaya kawawa ka kase limited lamang ang relis mo dito! diba apat an relis lang...

ang tanung anu ginagawa ng mga tga gobyerno dito para sa kapakanan ng OFW!!!
hindi po lahat ng mga OIC natin ay tamad at walang silbi pero pag tinaman ang sinuman at nasaktan ,,,, ibig sabihin may sugat ka at para sayo ito

di kba paparelis kung mura at SHIBAL maririnig mo,ung wlang break tym kahit sa alas dose(nangyari kya sakin walang break ng 12) e kahit ang robot mapapagod eh!

Iba pa ung nagtrabaho ng 13 -14 to 15 hours a day -ung walang night differential (den tanungin nyo magkanu sinasahod) dinadaya ang sahod(cheater company ang tawag dun)

kung di ka rin lang namn kikilos jan e,,iwan muna ang trono mo at baka mangitlog kpa jan.. sayang na lang apppintment mo jan..dapat pa relis ka na rin jan...
