The Korean Railway Workers’ Union announced on Friday that it will launch an indefinite general strike starting at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, citing the government’s failure to fulfill a promise to normalize performance-based bonuses.
The union kicked off its first general strike in almost four years, which is expected to decrease passenger and freight service by up to 60 percent until it ends at 9 a.m. on Monday.
The KTX ticket booking system for express trains and high-speed SRT trains may face service crashes if disasters, such as fires, occur due to a lack of disaster recovery centers.
