Haenam County (Mayor Myeong Myeong-gwan) will implement the nation's first public-type foreign seasonal labor support program in the fishing industry. Unlike the previous method where individual fishing households and foreign workers entered into labor contracts and the workers only worked at the specific fishing household's workplace for 5 to 8 months, this public-type seasonal labor support program involves the public sector directly signing labor contracts with the workers and dispatching them on a daily wage basis to fishing households in need of labor through the fishing cooperative. After undergoing job and safety education, the program will begin deploying workers to fishing households starting November 3 of this year and will operate until the end of April next year, with the possibility of extending for three more months depending on the progress of the program. The program will be carried out by the Haenam County Fisheries Cooperative.
