Negotiations between Korail and the National Railroad Workers' Union have finally collapsed, and the first strike will begin today (5th).

The railway union and Korail negotiated for nearly five hours yesterday (4th), but failed to reach an agreement on key issues such as wage hikes.

As a result, subway lines 1, 3, and 4 in the Seoul metropolitan area, the center of Gyeongui, the Suinbundang Line, all KTX lines, and ordinary trains such as Saemaul and Mugunghwa will be affected by the strike from the first train today.

In the case of metropolitan subway trains, 90% of the usual time will be operated during commuting hours and 76% of the total time.

In addition, KTX will be reduced to 67 percent of the usual level, and Saemaul and Mugunghwa will be reduced to 58 percent and 62 percent, respectively.

Korail will work with a total of 14,861 people, including essential maintenance and replacement personnel, which is 60% of the normal workforce.

KORAIL asked for a preliminary check, saying that trains that are not searched on the mobile app "KorailTalk" and the website are trains that do not operate.
