Truckers' walkout

Listen

Cargo trucks remain parked at the Inland Container Depot in Uiwang, Gyeonggi Province, Monday, as truck drivers go on strike. The unionists demand the government scrap its plan to abolish the limit on the number of small trucks in the market, which they believe will lead to an oversupply of trucks and a decline in revenues. Transport Minister Kang Ho-in vowed stern measures against what he called an illegal strike while pledging to take available means to minimize the fallout on the economy. / Yonhap
