Airport Railroad (공항철도) labor and management reached a dramatic wage agreement on Nov. 13, just 1 hour and 30 minutes before a planned strike, leading the union to withdraw its warning strike. The tentative deal, struck around 3:30 a.m. after the 11th round of negotiations, includes a 4.9% wage increase and joint efforts to hire 21 additional safety personnel, according to Yonhap and Maeil Business Newspaper. The agreement also addressed promotion system improvements, as reported by Maeil Business Newspaper. Korean media framed the outcome as a last-minute resolution, with Maeil Business Newspaper noting passengers were saved from disruption, while the union's strike plan was canceled, per Yonhap.
