REUTERS/Daewoung KimSEOUL, Dec 4 (Reuters) - South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol on Sunday ordered preparations for widening a back-to-work order beyond the cement industry amid a prolonged truckers' strike.
Thousands of South Korean truckers have been on strike for more than 10 days, with negotiators for the government and unions making no progress on disagreements over minimum pay rules.
The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, an umbrella group, is planning a general strike for Tuesday.
The government has said it would not expand a minimum pay system for truckers beyond a further three years.
