Seoul Subway Union Decides to Go On Strike to Stop Workforce Reductions
If you use the Seoul subway to get to work be ready for alternate transportation means if you ride these subway lines:
Unionized workers of Seoul Metro, the operator of Seoul subway lines No. 1-8, will stage a strike starting Thursday in protest of the company’s manpower reduction plan, officials said Wednesday.
The labor union has threatened to take the collective action after the company announced a plan to reduce its workforce by 2,212, or 13.5 percent, by 2026 to overcome its chronic deficit and normalize management.
The labor and management of the company, run by the Seoul city government, have held rounds of talks since July, but failed to narrow differences, the officials said.

Raising costs and/or reducing revenues is exactly the way for the management to start trying union-busting techniques.
I would say to break this strike but that would just send all these agitators underground.
So fighting for better wages and better working conditions is now called agitating? Who are you anyway?
Korean Man, I think you need to look up the definition of “sarcasm”. If you still don’t get what ChickenHead ment…there’s no help for you.
Korea Man…
If you broke up the strike to send people back to work, everyone would go underground because…
…they work on a subway…
…which is…
…underground.
I would tell you a joke about the pilot strike but it would probably go over your head.
