South Korea’s metal workers are staging a strike Wednesday, joining the nationwide protest seeking the resignation of President Yoon Suk Yeol who narrowly survived in an impeachment vote.
Korean Metal Workers’ Union (KMWU), the country’s largest umbrella union for metal-related industries with 190,000 members, is conducting the one-day labor action on Wednesday, the group said in a statement. Workers at all three Kia Corp plants in the country and at the automaker’s suppliers will strike for four hours, a KMWU spokesman said by phone.
