Half a million S. Korean workers set for 2-week nationwide strike against President Yoon Suk-yeol

SEOUL – The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), the more militant of the nation’s two largest umbrella labour organisations, has announced two weeks of strikes starting from Monday to call for the resignation of President Yoon Suk-yeol.

The strikes, expected to involve a total 400,000 to 500,000 workers, comes in protest against Mr Yoon’s proposed labour reform measures and as a broader pushback against perceived anti-union policies.

On Monday, approximately 3,000 workers, predominantly courier and home appliance repair personnel, will begin the strike, ceasing work to hold a rally at Gwanghwamun Square in the heart of Seoul.

The KCTU estimates that the rallies from July 3 to 15 will draw a total of 400,000 to 500,000 workers.
