SEOUL (Reuters) -- Thousands of South Korean truckers were on strike for a third day on Thursday to protest the sharp surge in fuel costs, disrupting production, hitting port activity and posing new risks to a strained global supply chain.
Presenting President Yoon Seok-youl, in power for just a month, with one of his first big economic challenges, about 7,200 members or roughly 30% of the Cargo Truckers Solidarity union were on strike, the country's transport ministry said.
