	SEOUL METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT
		Nearly 15,000 subway workers were set to go on strike today for higher wages and better conditions but transit authorities said there would be little impact on the six million people who use the underground to get to and from work.
		But the Seoul regional Labor Relations Commission's chief, Kim Sung-jung, reportedly said the commission was obliged to submit the dispute to arbitration because the unions did not accept its compromise plan and did not want to negotiate.
		The Seoul Metropolitan Government and the managements of the two transit corporations rebuked the unions' decision, even though the commission ordered them not to go on strike, at least for the time being.

	Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections - Korea has no means to effectively counter soaring international prices
		The trade unionists of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway Corp. (SMSC) launched a partial strike in protest against the one-hour operation extension of the transit system without their consent, causing inconvenience to commuters and traffic congestion as well.
		The strikers are criticizing the Seoul city government for its implementation of the new schedule without paying heed to their demand that before extending operating hours, it take necessary measures to enhance the safety of passengers, adjust the working system and employ more workers.
		The timing of the subway strike is viewed as not good for unionists in consideration of the general public sentiment that it would deal a blow to President-elect Roh Moo-hyun, who is credited with supporting labour rather than management.
