Gyeonggi bus labor talks collapse
Threat of total strike on 30th
Deadline Deadline October 29 · Final adjustment deadline; if unsuccessful, total strike the next day
In short
Gyeonggi bus labor and management failed to reach agreement on wage negotiations.
If final adjustment fails on the 29th, a total strike will begin on the 30th.
If a strike occurs, approximately 3,500 buses in the province may stop operating.
Key facts

|---|---|
| Who | Gyeonggi Regional Automobile Workers' Union and 29 bus companies in the province; approximately 9,400 union members |
| What | Union demands 21.56% wage increase for quasi-public system, 30% for private system |
| How | Union member strike vote on 23rd, final adjustment on 29th, then decision made |
What it means for me
Gyeonggi residents commuting or traveling by bus should prepare for travel delays on the 30th.
Office workers commuting from Gyeonggi to Seoul should check alternative transportation in advance.
