S. Korean Bus Drivers Union Threatens All-out Strike

Pyongyang, June 26 (KCNA) -- The Seoul City Bus Drivers' Union of the South Korean Federation of Auto Transport Workers Trade Unions declared that it would enter into an all-out strike for the right to existence.

Recalling that it has held 12 rounds of negotiations with the management side in demand of wage increase and extension of age limit, the organization accused the management of refusing to comply with the demands of the union and failing to take any measure for ensuring the right to existence.

Infuriated by this, the organization threatened to launch an all-out strike with more than 17 000 unionists involved on June 25.
