Will the Seoul Subway Union Strike Become a Reality?...MZ Union Also Resolves to Strike Following Union 1

Amid warnings of a general strike starting December 6 if negotiations with Union 1 fail, MZ Union shows 91.2% strike approval rate... Union 2 also preparing for a strike vote

As the debt of Seoul Metro Corporation continues to snowball, it is reported that only the interest payments over the past two and a half years have amounted to 257 billion won, worsening the management conditions day by day.

With the Corporation's Union 1 declaring that they will launch a general strike starting December 6 if negotiations fail over demands such as withdrawing restructuring, normalizing workforce operations, and halting the introduction of the single-person operation system, the so-called 'MZ Union,' known as Corporation's Union 3, the Correct Labor Union, announced that their strike action vote passed with over 90% approval.

According to Yonhap News, the Correct Labor Union recorded a 91.2% approval rate in the strike action vote held over four days starting from the 21st.

The union plans to discuss specific strike schedules if mediation fails at the Seoul Regional Labor Relations Commission's labor dispute adjustment review.

Additionally, Union 2 has also decided to proceed with procedures to schedule a strike action vote, raising concerns that a Seoul subway strike may be becoming more concrete.
