Truckers' strike

Truckers' strike

Yoon Hee-keun, head of the National Police Agency, speaks in front of the main gate of a cement maker in Danyang, 190 kilometers south of Seoul, during a visit to the plant to check whether the government's return-to-work order on striking truckers is effectively enforced. Earlier in the day, the government issued the compulsory order on some 2,500 cement truckers. Truck drivers went on strike nationwide on Nov. 24, demanding the government extend temporary rules guaranteeing minimum freight rates, citing high fuel prices. (Yonhap)
