S. Korea’s Metal Workers Protest ; Push for Yoon’s Exit

Hyewon Chong, International Executive Director at the Korean Metal Workers’ Union, the country’s largest umbrella union for metal-related industries with 190,000 members, says her union’s decision to go on strike was driven by President Yoon Sok Yeol’s martial law enactment and the political unrest that ensued. She said the move had ‘shaken the bedrock of democracy’ in the country, and the planned 4-hour strike will not kill companies, but the death of rule and law and democracy will be fatal for South Korea. She speaks with Shery Ahn on “Bloomberg: The Asia Trade”. (Source: Bloomberg)
