BREAKING NEWS: Leaders of unionized rail workers agreed to end their prolonged strike after the ruling and opposition parties promised to form a parliamentary subcommittee aimed at ensuring no privatization of rail services...(Yonhap, 12.30)

But there was also confusion among workers on strike when the agreement was reported. Some members called the union office in inquiry or protest because the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), an umbrella group, hosted a massive solidarity strike Saturday, promising more protests to come in support of rail unionists...(Korea Times, 12.30)

Only two days ago - during the KCTU Rally - Kim Myeong-hwan, the Korail union leader, said via a live video message: “Issuing a license to operate a subsidiary for a new bullet train service is tantamount to declaring war against the people. We cannot accept it. The Korail labor union will continue to stage a general strike into the new year unless the government cancels the license.”

But as far as I know, the gov't has NOT canceled the license, and Kim’s name is on the agreement made with lawmakers...^^
