Bus drivers' general strike, Mar 28, 2024 : A subway platform is seen crowded while bus drivers are on general strike in Seoul, South Korea. The Seoul Bus Labor Union, which has about 18,000 members at 65 companies, had gone on the strike after its wage negotiations conducted from Wednesday until early Thursday morning had failed. The bus drivers returned to work Thursday afternoon, about 11 hours after their general strike was launched as the union reached a deal on a wage hike and holiday bonuses with their employers under the mediation of the Seoul city government. The strike was the first general strike in 12 years. (Photo by Lee Jae-Won/AFLO)
