FILE - Foreign helpers do some maintenance work on their fishing tools while sitting on their boat docked at the Tomari fishery port in Naha in the main Okinawa island, southern Japan, on June 1, 2023. The Japanese government on Friday, Feb. 9, 2024, adopted plans to scrap its current foreign trainee program, criticized as a cover for importing cheap labor, and replace it with a new system that it says will actually teach skills and safeguard their rights as Japan desperately seeks to attract more foreign workers to supplement its aging and shrinking workforce.
