South Korean truckers say strike is a fight for livelihood

Published on: Wednesday 15 June 2022

Kang Myung-gil parked his truck last week and stopped hauling products from a unit of Samsung Electronics and other major South Korean companies to the port of Incheon, joining a strike that has hit industrial hubs and ports. At stake is his family's livelihood, Kang said, as soaring fuel prices and other costs make it impossible for him to go on while big business can pass on the burden charging higher prices to customers like himself. The truckers are striking for the seventh day on Monday, protesting against rising fuel prices and demanding minimum pay guarantees.
