Around 70 employees of GGM, unionized through the Korean Metal Workers’ Union under the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, staged a strike from 12:20 to 4:20 p.m. the same day. Collective bargaining negotiations between the union and GGM's management have stalled; the plant says it cannot provide the 7 percent salary increase the workers are demanding because it already applied this year's 3.6 percent inflation rate.
