SEOUL, Oct 11 (Bernama-Yonhap) -- Unionised workers at Incheon International Airport, South Korea, decided on Saturday to suspend their strike after 10 days of collective action, officials said, as reported by the Yonhap News Agency.
The airport workers had been on strike since Oct 1 to demand improvements in their working conditions but have chosen to return to work while continuing negotiations with management, according to union officials.
“If our demands are not met even after intensive negotiations, we will launch an indefinite strike starting Oct 25,” the union warned.
Their demands include a more flexible shift system, better treatment for employees at subsidiary companies, and stronger measures to prevent industrial accidents.
On Oct 1, about 15,000 unionised workers from 15 airports nationwide, including Incheon Airport, began an indefinite strike. However, workers at 14 airports suspended their walkouts last week ahead of the extended Chuseok holiday.
