en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Korea National Concrete Mixer Truck Transport Union announced that the strike by the Seoul Metropolitan Area Concrete Mixer Truck Transport Union ended on the same day after eight days. The union and the concrete manufacturing industry have reached a final agreement on the freight rate increase plan.

The Korea National Concrete Mixer Truck Transport Union stated on the 15th that in a vote among 7,517 union members, the approval rate was 65.9%, and the second provisional agreement drafted by labor and management was passed.

According to this agreement, the freight rate for concrete mixer trucks will increase by 4,200 won per trip over the next eight months. In the following four months, the increase will expand to 5,200 won per trip. Calculated on an annual average basis, this equates to an average increase of 4,533 won per trip, a rise of 6.0%.

Previously, on the 9th, labor and management had drafted a first provisional agreement, planning to raise the freight rate from the current 75,800 won per trip to 80,000 won per trip, an increase of 4,200 won per trip, or 5.5%. This plan was rejected in the union members' vote due to a 68.3% disapproval rate.

During the strike, the supply disruption of concrete mixer trucks in the Seoul metropolitan area rapidly expanded. According to the Construction Association of Korea, as of 4:00 PM on the same day, 119 construction sites of 27 major construction companies experienced supply disruptions of concrete mixer trucks. It is estimated that approximately 180,000 cubic meters of concrete pouring was delayed. Some sites have already seen project delays; for example, at the Samsung Electronics Pyeongtaek campus construction site, the shipment of its own mixer trucks was hindered, affecting the project progress.

The union stated that with the passage of the provisional agreement, the suspension of concrete mixer truck transport will cease from the same day.
