Last night, I received good news.

Truck drivers have decided to stop the strike.

In fact, we agreed to extend the safe fare system, which has been an issue, without ending it at the end of this year.



Reporter Han Sang-woo reports.

The Cargo Solidarity and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, which could not find a compromise in the last four talks, sat face to face again, but negotiations were not easy.



The conversation that started at 8 pm yesterday (14th) stopped in 20 minutes, and we met face to face again after an hour, but after that, the meeting was repeated two more times.



During the conversation, Goseong came and went, but it is known that they disagreed over the title and text of the agreement.



After compromise, the agreement came out after 10:30 p.m.



First of all, we agreed to extend the safe fare system, which was a key issue, by using the expression that we will continue to promote it.



[Kim Tae-young / Senior Vice-Chairman of Cargo Solidarity: The Cargo Solidarity Headquarters reached an agreement on the continued promotion of the safe fare system through the fifth round of negotiations with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport today.

In addition, we also agreed to continue discussions on the expansion of items to which the safe fare system is applied.]



In addition, in a situation where diesel prices have risen recently, the government has decided to consider a plan to pay more subsidies to truck drivers.



Subsequently, the Cargo Regiment immediately returned to work, and the government promised to cooperate so that there would be no disadvantages from the strike.



The strike of the cargo regiments, which lasted for eight days, came to an end as a difficult agreement was reached after a conversation that lasted until late at night.



However, the shippers' organization, another main agent of the negotiation, fell out of the negotiation, leaving a spark of conflict.



Another stumbling block may be the future discussion on how far to expand the safety fare system applied only to import/export containers and cement transport vehicles.
