According to Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL), labor and management reportedly reached a tentative agreement on key issues, including the normalization of performance-based bonuses, late last night.
As a result, the union decided to postpone the strike in order to minimize inconvenience to the public and will now focus on intensive negotiations regarding the detailed agenda items.
