Nationwide Participation in Migrant Workers’ Winter Clothing Drive Mentioned by President Lee Jae-myung

【Financial News Ulsan = Reporter Choi Soo-sang】 A winter-clothing donation campaign for migrant workers in Ulsan, mentioned by President Lee Jae-myung on social media, is drawing attention.
In a post on X on the 10th titled ‘We’re Sharing a Warm Winter with the Migrant Workers Around Us,’ President Lee said winter-clothing donation campaigns had been taking place across the country and that he, too, would lend his support to an event in Ulsan on the 15th to distribute winter clothes and workwear.
He also shared related media coverage. The KBS report covered a donation ceremony held by the Ulsan Chamber of Commerce and Industry on October 29 for its winter clothing and workwear campaign for migrant workers, as well as an event distributing winter clothes and workwear to help migrant workers employed at industrial and construction sites have a warm and safe winter.

Ulsan CCI continues to inform its member companies about the initiative, in line with the campaign’s purpose, while also collecting items such as winter jackets, padded coats and workwear from its employees.
Eligible donations include winter jackets, padded coats, cold-weather clothing, workwear and other clothing and accessories suitable for winter use. They must be washed and otherwise prepared, and be clean and in good condition so that someone else can wear them right away.
The Korea Workers’ Compensation & Welfare Service, headquartered in Ulsan, has also joined the campaign. To help migrant workers get through the winter, it donated 1,185 pieces of winter clothing collected by 861 employees. Companies, labor unions and various organizations are participating not only in Ulsan but across the country.
The donated winter clothes are expected to be distributed to approximately 3,000 migrant workers in Ulsan, Gyeongju, Gimhae and Yangsan through the ‘2026 Migrant Workers’ Winter Clothing and Workwear Sharing Event in Ulsan,’ to be held at 1 p.m. on the 15th in the gymnasium on the third floor of Ulsan Auto Valley Welfare Center.
This is the Ulsan event that President Lee said he would support. It is organized by the Ulsan Buk-gu Center for Support of Non-Regular Workers, which is accepting winter-clothing donations through the 13th.
