As the general strike of the Cargo Solidarity continues for the fourth day as of today (10th), there is visible damage such as factories that stop operating one by one, but there is still no dialogue between the companies, the Cargo Solidarity, and the government.

Yesterday, the opposition party arranged a dialogue, but the government did not attend.

Yesterday morning in Gangnam, Seoul, Minister Won Hee-ryong of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, who is in charge of strikes, attended the self-driving car event.

However, four hours later, no one from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport appeared at the meeting with the Cargo Solidarity organized by the opposition at the National Assembly.

[Hyun Jeong-hee / Public Transport Union Chairman: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport gave the National Assembly an excuse and the National Assembly used the original excuse to drive the freight workers into struggle.

The Ministry of Employment and Labor is also not moving forward, saying that truck drivers are not workers.

Minister Lee Jung-sik went to Geneva, Switzerland to attend the General Assembly of the International Labor Organization, and is scheduled to hold an inspection meeting only today.

While the government and politicians are holding off on each other's responsibilities, strikes are lengthening and damage to industries is increasing.
