Seoul welcomes 131 re-employed foreign workers
SEOUL, Oct. 11 (Yonhap) -- One hundred and thirty one foreign workers with re-employment permits thanks to their "exemplary" working records re-entered South Korea on Thursday in accordance with a revised law, the labor ministry said.
The revised law, which took effect in July, allows "exemplary" foreign manual workers who have not left their designated workplaces for a certain period of time to be re-employed by the same employers three months after leaving the country.
