  • Summary

  • This is audio from a live stream on the South Korea truckers strike.

    In November, South Korean cargo truckers representated by the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) launched a nationwide strike around the extension of a minumum wage guarantee and related work safety issues.   The Yoon administration has responded aggressively, issuing an executive order for truckers to return to work or face steep fines, possible jail time and other penalities.   In response, KCTU held a one day all-union national strike on Tuesday, December 6th.  Joining for this special livestream to help us understand the strike and what's at stake are:  

    Yeonwoo Choi, a student activist and organizer in Seoul  

    Sanggu Gang, a member of KCTU's young wing in Busan  

    Bori, a co-host of Red Star Over Asia, but also currently a staff organizer for KCTU in Seoul, so he will also be sharing his analysis.
