Officials of the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission met with foreign workers at an industrial complex in Incheon Sunday to advise them on legal solutions to work related problems, a spokesman of the commission said.

The agency's On-Site Complaint Desk attracted about 110 foreign laborers at the complex, where about 10,000 people from Asian countries work, the spokesman said.

The commission learned about their labor issues, such as overdue wages and immigration service-related problems, he said.

The organization plans further consultations to provide legal solutions to foreign workers in Gyeonggi Province in May, Seoul in July, South Gyeongsang Province in September and South Chungcheong Province in October.
