South Korea will meet striking truckers for more negotiations as concerns rose over shortages of petrol, pricier groceries and economic damage. Union officials told Reuters the gap between the two sides is too wide to reach a compromise
Union officials told Reuters the gap between the two sides is too wide to reach a compromise. About 25,000 union drivers are striking over minimum wage rules.
As of Tuesday, 21 petrol stations had run dry, the industry ministry said. Petrol stations nationwide had an average of about eight days of gasoline supply as they secured stock before the strike, but stations with high turnover in the Seoul metropolitan area are seeing shortages. President Yoon Suk-yeol on Tuesday called the drivers' demands "unreasonable" and said the government would take "every possible measure" to end the strike.
