The government is beefing up efforts to crack down on substandard accommodation provided to migrant workers, in response to growing calls to improve their living conditions, following the death of a Cambodian worker last December.
The deceased worker was found in a sandwich panel structure built inside a vinyl greenhouse Dec. 20, on a farm in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province. The heating system was not working in the facility on that day when a cold spell hit the region.
