The nation's major railway union workers continue their strike on this Wednesday... breaking
the record of the longest strike ever staged by the union.
But the Seoul Subway Labor Union,... which had earlier said it would also go on a strike
on Wednesday,... has found common ground with management.
The subway union has withdrawn its plan to boycott operations of Seoul Metro lines one
through four,... meaning the capital's commuters can breathe a sigh of relief.
But the union has stressed that it still supports the railway union workers' strike,... and
says it will not substitute for striking railway workers.
The railway union strike is now into its tenth day.
The nationwide rate of railway operation is said to be around 80 percent.
