Union, Group Leave... Some Chuncheon City Bus Routes Suspended Until the 19th

KCTU, "Opposition to 2-Shift Work System"... Announces Legal Compliance Struggle
City, "Emergency Transport Measures Prepared"... Charter Buses Deployed

[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-cheol] Some Chuncheon city bus routes will suspend operations from the 17th to the 19th due to a union-organized group leave opposing the 'two-shift work system per day.'

According to Chuncheon City on the 17th, transportation workers affiliated with the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions at Chuncheon Citizen Bus Co., Ltd. have opposed the implementation of the two-shift system per day, which was agreed upon between the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and management at the local labor commission on the 9th.

Accordingly, from this day until the 19th, the workers have collectively applied for group leave and announced a law-abiding struggle, making it inevitable that some city bus routes will be canceled.

The city has decided to urgently deploy a total of 100 charter buses over three days on the non-operating routes to minimize inconvenience to citizens.

However, some routes are expected to be inevitably canceled, and citizens are anticipated to face difficulties using public transportation.

A city official stated, "We are establishing emergency transportation measures," and added, "We will do our best to ensure that citizens do not experience inconvenience due to the cancellation of some routes."
