On Wednesday June 20 over 220,000 taxi drivers across South Korea staged an historic, nation-wide 24 hour strike. Drivers from across the country congregated for a mass rally in the public square in front of City Hall in Seoul on the day of the strike. The average taxi driver works 15 hours per day, seven days a week. The average monthly pay for a taxi driver is $1,128 (this works out to around $2-3 an hour). The driver’s unions are demanding that the government raise the taxi flag fall and lower the price of Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG).On Wednesday June 20 over 220,000 taxi drivers across South Korea staged an historic, nation-wide 24 hour strike.
