There are two in Daejeon: Socius, and FLEA (Foreign Language Educators' Association). They don't necessarily organize class-action lawsuits, but I know that Socius helps foreigners in distress (fired for no reason and stranded, sexually harassed by boss, etc.) and the leader of FLEA is the Canadian Embassy warden for Daejeon or something like that. I don't know how they finance any of their activities because Socius doesn't charge for anything, as they are mostly concerned with making information and help available. FLEA collects annual membership feels (although I don't know how much) and I don't know what they do with it, but they do organize fund raisers and work with the Red Cross. Perhaps the private sector is the answer instead of counting on the government. In Daejeon there's even competition. What about organizations that already exists and partially serve that function?
