Hyundai Motor, Posco restart shipments as trucker strike ends

Deal between union, South Korean government forestalls long walkout

SEOUL -- Hyundai Motor and steelmaker Posco resumed shipping products on Wednesday, after striking truckers in South Korea ended a more than weeklong strike that damaged their businesses and other industries in the country.

President Yoon Suk-yeol, who was facing a major early test in the form of the labor action that started about a month after he took office, welcomed its end. "It's time to cooperate as we are walking on ice due to a global economic crisis resulting from high consumer prices and high interest rates," Yoon told reporters.
