South Korea's transport ministry to meet with striking truckers union on Monday - ministry official
in less than six months seeking better pay and working conditions. The action is already disrupting supply chains across the world's 10th largest economy, affecting automakers, cement and steel producers.
"We requested dialogue with the union and the truckers union replied that they would meet with us on Monday ... the talk is not yet finalised, but we plan to meet with the union and talk," the ministry official told Reuters. A union official confirmed Monday's meeting, which would be the first official dialogue between the two sides.
The transport ministry said about 5,400 people attended the strike on Saturday as of 10 a.m. in about 150 locations nationwide, down from 9,600 people on the first day of the strike.
