South Korea’s largest union confederation, the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), has announced that its 1.2 million members will be embarking on an indefinite general strike. This decision comes in response to President Yoon Suk Yeol's recent attempt to impose martial law, with the union demanding his immediate resignation.
The KCTU has declared its solidarity with the people and has vowed to lead the way in calling for President Yoon Suk Yeol's resignation, citing treason as the primary reason. The union members will adhere to strike guidelines, cease working, and mobilize for nationwide emergency actions aimed at social reform and the realization of popular sovereignty.
Members of the KCTU are set to convene at Gwanghwamun Square in central Seoul, a historic site known for hosting political demonstrations. The union's decision to launch an indefinite general strike underscores the gravity of the situation and the determination of its members to push for political change.
