The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions declared a general strike, and the Federation of Korean Trade Unions declared a halt to social dialogue with a call to step down.

"Get out of here! Get out of here! Get out of the way!"

The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions declared a general strike shortly after the lifting of the emergency martial law.

He claimed that declaring martial law for the first time in 44 years was a de facto self-imposed dictatorship by President Yoon Suk Yeol through anti-democratic measures.

[Yang Kyung-soo / Chairman of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU): The KCTU will work with its citizens to create a square for the resignation of the Yoon Suk Yeol regime. Let's be together, people. The square is ours. This country is ours. Let's keep ours.]

The strike is planned to continue indefinitely until President Yoon steps down, and the executive committee of the industry-specific union will decide when to enter.

"Retreat! Step down! Yoon Suk Yeol, step down!"

The Federation of Korean Trade Unions also urged President Yoon to step down.

We do not go on a general strike like the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, but we have decided to close all social dialogue channels instead.

They do not participate in the Economic, Social and Labor Committee meeting, which is discussed by the labor, government, and business circles.

[Kim Dong-myung / Chairman of the Federation of Korean Trade Unions: Through each organization's decision-making body, they will gather resolutions to call for the president's resignation and actively participate in resignation rallies in the National Assembly and around the country]

Starting tomorrow, the railway union under the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions' public transport union will hold an opening ceremony and go on strike indefinitely.

The day after tomorrow, the Seoul subway union announced a strike, and the school irregular workers' union, which is in charge of school meals and care, also stopped working and came out to the square.
