SEOUL: South Korea’s government planned to meet the country’s striking truckers’ union for talks for the first time yesterday since a nationwide walkout began six days ago, as supply chain glitches worsen and construction sites face concrete shortages.
With supplies of cement and fuel for gas stations running short, the government has elevated its warning of cargo transport disruption due to the strike to “serious”, the highest level in its disruption scale, the transport ministry said yesterday.
