Airport railroad union deal averts strike at last minute

The airport railroad (Airport Railroad) labor and management reached a dramatic tentative wage agreement on Nov. 13, just 1 hour and 30 minutes before a planned strike, leading the union to withdraw its strike plan. The deal, struck around 3:30 a.m. after the 11th round of negotiations, includes a 4.9% wage increase from the previous year's total labor costs and joint efforts to add 21 safety personnel, according to Yonhap and Kyunghyang Shinmun. The union's warning strike was called off, and passengers who feared disruption were relieved, with Maeil Business Newspaper quoting a sentiment that "we almost couldn't take the airport railroad today."
