Daegu Participation Network in Daegu, South Korea, began offering free legal support to part-time workers on September 15.
The group will represent workers who have not received legally mandated wages, including minimum wage and weekly rest pay. Lawyers belonging to Daegu Participation Network will handle cases for the first 100 applicants. The organization based its decision to offer aid on a recent survey of young workers and students in the area.
The survey revealed that half of the respondents had experienced violations of labor laws. Daegu Participation Network clarified that workers can only claim unpaid wages from within the past three years. Interested workers can apply through a Google Form or contact the organization by phone at 053-427-9780 for more information. The group intends to file lawsuits immediately upon receiving applications to help workers recover their wages as quickly as possible.
