Today (28th) marks the 5th day of the cargo strike.

From this week, it seems that the damage caused by the strike will become visible in earnest, and the government and the cargo union are scheduled to sit down at the table for the first time since the strike today.

New cars without license plates come out of the factory one by one.



Most of the car trailers that transport finished cars are suspended due to the strike of the truckers' union, so the employees drive the cars themselves.



Until the fifth day of the strike, they are barely holding on in the field with such temporary measures, but from this week, it seems that the damage will reach its limit and begin in earnest.



Signs of transportation disruptions are appearing in various industrial sites, including construction and steel, with container imports and exports at major ports across the country dropping to 17% of the normal level.



[Distribution industry official: Before the strike, we have done a lot of inventory adjustments.

We are planning to continue to increase the amount of shipments by recruiting temporary vehicles.] The



government takes a hardline stance on the strike, and is expected to submit an agenda for an order to start work at the cabinet meeting tomorrow.



It is unclear whether the differences between the two sides over the safe fare system will be narrowed, as the government has shown its will that it has no intention of stepping down ahead of the first negotiations between the government and the cargo union today after the strike.



The Cargo Solidarity is currently adhering to the expansion and continuous implementation of the application target, which is only 6% of all trucks, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is sticking to the position of "extending the sunset system for 3 years, items cannot be expanded."



In fact, when the order to start work is issued, the cargo regiment has no choice but to increase the intensity of resistance.



[Lee Chae-jong / 35-year-old truck driver: (Work start order) is a means of putting pressure on our cargo workers.

The real situation is desperate for us.

There is only one way, but here no more...

Today's first negotiations between the two sides are expected to be a major crossroads for this strike, as the outcome of the strike could greatly change.
