THE Embassy of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar in Seoul announced on 4 November that approximately 200 more Myanmar workers have been sent to the Republic of Korea under the Employment Permit System (EPS) through the Public Overseas Employment Agency (POEA).
The embassy stated that a total of 46 workers, including 12 new agricultural workers, nine new construction workers, 13 new service workers, and 12 re-entry workers, who were sent through POEA under the EPS system, arrived by Korean Air flight KE492 on 28 October.
Subsequently, 147 new manufacturing workers arrived at Incheon International Airport on 29 October via Myanmar National Airlines flight UB8301.
The new Myanmar workers were welcomed by the Labour Attaché, who gave instructions on important points the workers should know and abide by, and provided necessary assistance and support.
Additionally, they were briefed that addressing foreign workers in Korea as “Hey” or “You” instead of calling them by their names is considered rude, and the newly arriving Myanmar workers will be required to wear name tags at Incheon International Airport, starting from 28 October, it stated. — MT/ZN
