11.16, Incheon Int'l Airport: Workers are in full strike. After one day of strike there has been a breakthrough in bargaining but the real boss, the Incheon Airport Corporation, still refuses to participate... 

Y'day afternoon(KST) KCTU reported: "The KPTU Incheon Airport Branch announced that the airport corporation has agreed to consider some few demand on which an agreement cannot be reached with contracting companies. As such the union branch will continue the strike til tomorrow[i.e. Sunday] and then be put on hold for one week to give the corporation time to put forward a proposal. A partial victory!!"

Here just some impressions(pics by Lee Geun-seon) from yesterday's strike rally inside the airport's main passenger building...
