The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, which held national workers’ conferences in Seoul and Busan last weekend, will begin a nationwide general strike tomorrow (6th).
One of the key agendas is also the government’s condemnation of the cargo union’s business start-up order, and it is a plan to continue the fight by holding rallies from major centers across the country.
“I said I want to work safely on the road. I told them to guarantee a minimum living as much as I was working. But it’s illegal. That’s not enough, so now I’m even threatening them .”
In this situation, the government intends to check immediately whether the truck driver will return through an on-site inspection of the transport company.
For 178 cement transport drivers who were found to have received an order to start work, if they did not comply with the order for the first time, they would be suspended for 30 days or less, and their cargo transport qualifications would be be revoked for the first time. second time.
Following the cement industry, the government also prepared to issue a business start-up order for industries worried about additional damage, such as oil refining and steel, and began securing workers in place.
Previously, the International Labor Organization (ILO) presented a letter of ‘intervention’ to the Korean government, which issued an order to start work.
The cargo union has called for intervention by informing the ILO that the government’s actions violate freedom of association.
Regarding this, the union said that the ILO had expressed concerns about breaches of international labor standards to the government, but the government said that it could not be seen as a formal supervisory process and was in fact just an ‘opinion inquiry’.
As the conflict between the government and the labor community deepens, voices are calling for dialogue efforts.
