Talks between the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the cargo union, held for the first time since the KCTU public transport cargo union headquarters (cargo union) went on general strike, have broken down. Both sides decided to meet again on the 30th to continue the negotiations, but the discussion is unlikely to progress easily due to the major disagreement over the safe price system.

On the 28th, the cargo union released a statement immediately after the negotiations broke down, saying, “We entered the negotiations with a forward-looking attitude to resolve this issue as soon as possible through dialogue with the government.” I will report to the President’s office, but the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has no authority or discretion in this matter,’ he said again, and then left before the discussions ended.”

The cargo union said, “We asked the government to withdraw the business start-up order and the position of the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs on the part where we can discuss the cargo union’s request in practice.” he explained. “The response of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to the position of the cargo union in the negotiations was that there was nothing that the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport could answer,” he stressed.
