Striking S Korean truck drivers may snarl supply to power plant

sxcoal.com Others 2022-06-14 08:59:22

South Korean truck drivers may consider to blockage coal shipments to a power plant in order to press their demand for minimum pay guarantees, Reuters reported, citing a senior trade union official as saying.


The strike of Cargo Truckers Solidarity Union entered into the seventh day on June 13, and is weighing several plans, including suspending coal delivery for power generation use and shutting down petrochemical complexes by blocking their outbound and inbound shipments.


The union is thinking of a complete blockage of coal shipments to a power plant in Guusan, north Jeolla province.


Although the impact of the blockage to the power plant is expected to be limited regarding the national power supply, even in peak summer demand months, the strike has caused some adverse impact on some firms' operation.


South Korean steelmaker POSCO is forced to shut some plants due to lack of space to store finished products.


Hyundai Motor also cut its production for some assembly lines. Production of auto vehicles in the country reduced by 5,400 units between June 8-11, according to the Korea Automobile Manufacturers Association.
