[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daehyun] The Cargo Solidarity Headquarters of the Public Transport Union under the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, which has launched a general strike, filed for a suspension of execution after being banned from holding a rally in the city center on the 27th, but the court did not accept the request.

According to the legal community on the 26th, the Seoul Administrative Court Administrative Division 13 (Chief Judge Jang Nakwon) dismissed the suspension of execution application filed by the Cargo Solidarity and Headquarters Chief Lee Bongju, who requested to suspend the effect of the rally ban notification against the Seoul Mayor and Yeongdeungpo Police Chief.

The Cargo Solidarity reported a rally to be held in front of the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul on the 27th to condemn the government and the ruling party but received a ban notification. The Cargo Solidarity filed for a suspension of execution to temporarily halt the effect of the ban in objection.

The Cargo Solidarity demands the abolition of the sunset clause on safe freight rates, expansion of safe freight rates to all vehicle types, freight rate increases, and full application of industrial accident insurance. On the 25th, the Cargo Solidarity began a general strike at regional headquarters bases and declared "a march to the capital by all general strike units on the 27th." The strike will be conducted temporarily for three days starting from the 25th.
