Seoul Subway Strike Step...70% approval rate for strike by 1 union

While the National Railroad Workers' Union has entered a law-abiding struggle, the Seoul Transportation Corporation's labor union, which operates Seoul Subway Lines 1 to 8, voted for a strike with a 71 percent approval rate.

The Seoul Transportation Corporation's labor union plans to hold a press conference in front of the city hall tomorrow morning (19th) to announce a specific schedule for a general strike.

Currently, the Seoul Transportation Corporation insists on separating management innovation from the wage increase rate of 2.5%, but the union is demanding higher wages and more new hiring.

In addition to the Korea Transportation Corporation, which is a single union, the two and three unions are also taking steps to carry out industrial action, and the integrated union will hold an extraordinary parliamentary session tomorrow to discuss the labor dispute resolution.

The three unions, the Right Workers' Union, will also hold a rally the day after tomorrow (20th) near City Hall for industrial action to normalize wages and welfare.
