<Anchor> The
cargo union said it would decide whether or not to continue the strike today (9th) with a member vote.
It has been 16 days since the strike started, and it seems that the conclusion will be reached today.

<Reporter> The
cargo union announced last night that it would begin a general vote of union members on whether or not to withdraw from the strike.
The Cargo Solidarity explained that this decision was made to minimize the damage to union members and to urge a change in attitude from the government, which is consistent with hard-line oppression.
After a general vote today, he added that he plans to return to the field according to the results and faithfully participate in the discussion process within the National Assembly on the safe fare system.
Previously, the government issued additional orders for the steel and petrochemical industries nine days after the start of work order for those who refused to transport goods in the cement sector, and exerted strong pressure on the cargo union.

: Disruptions in shipments of steel and petrochemical products may soon spread to key frontline industries such as automobiles, shipbuilding, and semiconductors, spreading to a crisis throughout our economy.]
It took a step back to accept the three-year extension of the safe fare system.
However, as the President's Office re-emphasized the principle of 'return first, dialogue later', the government also announced that the safe fare system extension could be discussed only when the cargo union returned to work.
The Korea Cargo Federation and the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions protested, saying that the government was refusing dialogue to resolve the situation and only pouring out hardline measures. I see.
