Ask what Korea is talking about.

Unionized KORAIL workers will launch an indefinite general strike at 9 a.m. on Dec. 10, demanding a fair promotion system and more railway safety personnel, Yonhap and other outlets report. The Korean Railway Workers' Union announced the plan at a press conference at Seoul Station Plaza on Nov. 11, saying the strike will proceed if demands are not met. The union cites safety staffing shortages and unfair promotions as key grievances. Seoul Metro's largest union has separately threatened a general strike on Nov. 25 over wage and hiring disputes, Yonhap reports.
