korean unions have been in uproar over this. here's an excerpt the statement from the KCTU, the largest union in Korea:

The South Korean government should not simply resort to a stopgap measure of " ensuring there are no disadvantages to re-entry. " Instead , it should formally protest to the U.S. government and take diplomatic measures that prioritize workers' rights . It is the government's responsibility to protect the safety and rights of its citizens and workers .

 

The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions stands in solidarity with the workers returning home today , and strongly urges an official apology from President Trump, a halt to investment in the United States , and a responsible response from the Korean government .
