POSCO and Hyundai Motors Cutting Production Due to Trucker Strike
This is not surprising considering how this trucker strike continues to drag out which is all linked to high fuel prices:
South Korean steelmaker POSCO said on Sunday will halt some of its plants in the country due to a lack of space to store finished products, which have not been shipped due to a strike by truckers who are demanding higher pay as fuel prices surge.
POSCO follows automaker Hyundai Motor in cutting production lines as the strike by thousands of truckers disrupted cargo transport at the country’s industrial hubs and major ports.

Unions often put honest people out of work. In my case, they have cost me four good jobs.
Unions were also the catalyst for the student deaths at Tiananmen Square. Students started the protest. Unions “joined in solidarity”. It was then that union men threw the fire bomb that killed the policeman. And then, strangely, only students were left to face the government’s wrath.
Unions are every bit as trustworthy as Beijing and Moscow.
Granted some of you will object to that statement. But that won’t change my history with unions, nor Tiananmen Square, and it won’t get the jobs back for the Koreans hurt by the trucker strike.
Excuses excuses. Look in the mirror bald old man on chemo. You got fired because you were useless.
The first job was in 1974, where a Korean man at our church hired 5 teens to follow behind his backhoe with spades to straighten out the edges of the ditch which he planned to use for the foundation of his own house he was building. The local Carpenters Union set up a card table and two grown men with a sign and a thermos got all deliveries to the site stopped. And it stayed an empty lot for 20 years until he sold it. The unions never forgave him.
The second was when *all* work-study students at my university were let go because the Janitors went on strike. My job was compiling a library of all C language code used in the data center.
HP laid off 40,000 IT workers because sales slumped and the manufacturing unions threatened to strike globally if even one was laid off.
Need more, BeijingBot? Or are you only able — as I have accused — to deflect, project, and defame?

Oh yeah, and I’m no longer a cancer patient. I’m a cancer survivor. I “graduated” last week. And while I was bald from chemo in 2016, if grew back very nicely. And a lot of the girls at work ran their hands through it when I got back.
“Don’t hate the playaz”…
Just stick to your script so they don’t send you back to the camps.

Really? A Korean?

Why would work-study students be let go because janitors went on strike? If janitors go on strike, yes there will be discomfort because no cleaning is being done, not exactly a reason to let go of student part-timers. Doesn’t make sense.

I think setnaffa is refering to the layoff of about 30,000 HP employees as result of its merger with Compaq.
That and the other big layoffs resulting in HP splitting into two companies.
Those layoffs were the results of restructuring and not unions.
So, I have to agree with KM that setnaffa blaming unions are excuses and all made up so as to align with his right wing way of thinking.
And to update the situation, the trucker union and government reached a settlement.
The strike’s over.
So stop the whining about unions.
