Truckers strike may cause supply disruptions in South Korea

South Korea has warned of manufacturing and fuel supply disruptions and economic damage if unionized truckers again go on strike on Nov. 24, Reuters reported. The Cargo Truckers Solidarity Union has threatened to begin a nationwide strike for the second time in less than six months as they want the government to extend its Safe Trucking Freight Rate policy that was put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic that guarantees a minimum annual wage.
