Workers at Incheon International Airport, who have been on a 10-day strike including the Chuseok holiday to demand better working conditions, will return to their worksites.
The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) Public Transport Workers' Union Incheon Airport Regional Branch held a resolution rally at Terminal 1 of Incheon International Airport on the morning of the 11th and announced a plan for striking members to return to the field and to shift to a leadership strike.
It comes 10 days after the general strike began on the 1st. They said, "Striking members will continue a work-to-rule action, and branch leaders will continue a leadership strike while waging bargaining actions."
They added, "If our demands are not accepted despite intensive negotiations, we will launch an indefinite strike again on the 25th."
They are demanding a shift from a three-team, two-shift system to a four-team, two-shift system and improvements to disadvantages faced by subsidiary employees. They also urged measures against industrial accidents, which occur frequently during periods of extreme heat and cold.
The National Airport Workers' Solidarity, made up of the National Airport Labor Union, which includes workers from Gimpo Airport, and the Public Transport Workers' Union Incheon Airport Regional Branch, plans to hold a press conference near the presidential office in Yongsan on the morning of the 13th and seek a meeting with the presidential office.
