• Source: List of strikes in South Korea

Throughout South Korean history, a number of strikes, labour disputes, student strikes, hunger strikes, and other industrial actions have occurred.




Background



A labour strike is a work stoppage caused by the mass refusal of employees to work. This can include wildcat strikes, which are done without union authorisation, and slowdown strikes, where workers reduce their productivity while still carrying out minimal working duties. It is usually a response to employee grievances, such as low pay or poor working conditions. Strikes can also occur to demonstrate solidarity with workers in other workplaces or pressure governments to change policies.
