\n SEOUL, The union of intracity bus drivers in Seoul and their employers are set to hold last-minute negotiations over wage hikes Wednesday ahead of a threatened general strike that could halt the operation of 7,210 intracity buses, or 97.6 percent of the capital’s total, if carried out the following day as announced.<\/p>\n

The negotiations between the Seoul Bus Labor Union and representatives of their management are to take place at a regional labor relations office at 2:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

The union has voted to launch a general strike at 4 a.m. on Thursday after failing to reach a deal on wage hikes with the management and the Seoul city government.<\/p>\n

The union, which has about 18,000 members at 65 companies, has reportedly demanded a 12.7 percent increase in hourly wage, revision of the salary system and the abolition of wage discrimination for contract workers.<\/p>\n

But the demand has been dismissed by the management as “excessive” particularly in consideration of the inflation rate of the past five years.<\/p>\n

The last time the
\nSeoul bus union went on strike was in 2012.<\/p>\n
