The new law that mandates punishment for South Korean companies found to have unfairly demoted or fired workers who are harassed while on the job ...

He told me of one occasion where an elderly man confronted him at a restaurant and angrily accused him of bringing shame on South Korea. Today, competition for jobs in South Korea is intense, with an abundance of qualified candidates for a small number of well-paid, white-collar jobs at large companies.
