First negotiations between gov't, striking truckers

Vice Transport Minister Eo Myeong-so (2nd from R) greets a group from the union of truckers prior to their first negotiations at the transport ministry in Sejong, 112 kilometers south of Seoul, on Nov. 28, 2022, the fifth day of a nationwide strike by unionized truckers that has disrupted supply chains across the cement and steel industries.
