서울지하철 9호선, 오늘부터 사흘간 파업…서울시 "정상 운행"
Time now for our "Life & Info" segment... where we focus on information useful for your everyday life.
The unionized workers of Seoul Subway Line number nine will go on a preliminary strike today,... with the actual strike schedule set for Tuesday and Wednesday.
The strike comes as unionists launched a work-to-rule protest last month,... calling for the status of irregular workers to be changed to regular workers,... and for an expansion of the workforce.
With fears the strike will delay the daily commute,... Seoul City says it will bring in additional workers so trains run normally.
Seoul's subway line number nine transports an average of 500-thousand passengers a day.
