 |
|
Just a quick question.. What would be more appropriate or practical to protect teachers from unscrupulous hagwons - a change in the immigration law to allow teachers to change jobs without the need for permission from their employer (letter of release) or an association/union that could represent them in disputes with hagwon, and speak on their behalf at labor hearings/civil court etc?
If you choose a change in the law, how likely do you think that would be without the support of an association/union of English teachers to lobby on your behalf?
If you want to go on the record with your real name - pm - if not, just post here.
Thanks for your input. |
