> Even Korean unions united with the UAW to condemn Hyundai-LG for this
The statement has a vague mention of the company forcing the workers to shoulder "visa risks". One sentence out of 5 paragraphs.
Most of the condemnation in that statement is about the actual raid. Even UAW, an American union, thought that went too far.
> It is WAY cheaper than paying the right insurance and US construction salairies ($20k-40k in SK)
It's not just salaries though is it? There's hotels/accommodation, flights, per diems. The churn of flying people back and forth. I presume Korean construction workers aren't necessarily fluent in English (I don't know how education there works) so there'd be some language friction. You might as well hire undocumented construction workers who are already in the country (which they have also been doing apparently).
