Myanmar worker’s payroll records raise questions over extreme hours and labor conditions at major rail project siteA Myanmar worker who was killed last month at a KTX railway construction site had worked as many as 355 hours in a month, averaging more than 11 hours a day, payroll records showed.
Yoon's office estimated that Aung worked 355.2 hours that month, or an average of 11.45 hours per day.
He added that low base wages could push migrant workers to take on more overtime to increase their earnings.
Yoon called for an investigation into working hours, wages, safety training and hazardous work assignments at publicly commissioned construction sites employing migrant workers.
SK Ecoplant apologized to Aung's family last month and agreed to introduce measures aimed at reducing the workplace risks migrant workers face.
