As predicted, the Cargo Regiment went on an indefinite strike across the country from today (7th).

Let's take a closer look with the reporter who went out to the scene to cover whether the actual strike was causing any disruptions in freight transportation or there was no collision.



Reporter Jeon Yeon-nam, you can see the police in the back, but let me introduce you to where it is first.



<Reporter>



Yes, this is the Uiwang inland container base.



Most of the containers exported and imported from the metropolitan area go through this place, so it is like the heart of Korea's logistics.

Reporter Yeonnam Jeon went out early today to cover the heart of logistics, so then, did all the trucks stop running there?



<Reporter>



Yes, as you said, I have been here since dawn.



Normally, it is a place where container cars pass day and night, but today there were so few that I could count on my hand all day.



There are about 25,000 members of the Cargo Coalition, which is about 5% of the total industry workers.



There is no problem in container ports nationwide, it is normal.

Although the government is making this clear, if it goes on for a long time, then it seems that the effects will appear one by one.

The government has announced a strict response policy, but was there any friction in the field?



<Reporter>



Yes, it wasn't here, but there were conflicts in some areas because there were strikes in about 50 places across the country at the same time.



Ulsan was a prime example.



Four union members were arrested at the scene as they clashed with the police to prevent other drivers who did not participate in the strike from loading their belongings.



The government has announced that it will waive highway tolls for replacement drivers and promote emergency measures that mobilize military vehicles.



However, the union is in a position to continue the strike unless the safety fare system is extended and maintained.



[Lee Bong-ju/Chairman of the Cargo Solidarity Headquarters: The vicious cycle has been repeated in which the capital enforces the minimum bid, cuts the transportation cost, and the transport company again exploits the freight workers.

The government must take full responsibility for causing the Cargo Solidarity to strike indefinitely.]



However, the two sides show no signs of negotiating.
