Unionized workers of Korea Railroad Corp. (KORAIL) announced Wednesday they will launch an indefinite general strike at 9 a.m. on Dec. 10, demanding a fair promotion system and more railway safety personnel, Yonhap reports. The Korean Railway Workers' Union held a press conference at Seoul Station Plaza on Nov. 11, warning they will strike if demands are not met, according to KBS World and the Korea Times. The union cites safety staffing shortages and unfair promotions as key grievances, with the Chosun Ilbo noting the strike will begin if demands are rejected. Korean media are widely covering the announcement, with multiple outlets reporting the same details, while the Kyunghyang Shinmun adds that other public-sector unions, including airport rail and Seoul Metro workers, are also threatening strikes.
