South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol invokes a 'start work' order, the first in the country's history, on 2,500 drivers in the cement industry.
SEOUL – South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol on Sunday, December 4, ordered preparations for widening a back-to-work order beyond the cement industry amid a prolonged truckers’ strike.
Yoon, a conservative, on Tuesday invoked a “start work” order, the first in the country’s history, on 2,500 drivers in the cement industry, requiring them to return to the road or face penalties. Yoon called for punishment of those violating laws during the strike, ordering ministers to take action to minimize damage, such as employing alternative drivers, military personnel and military equipment.
“I cannot but regard this planned strike as a politically motivated action, rather than one aimed at representing the workers’ rights,” Yoon said, according to Lee, signalling a potentially harsh reaction from the government.
