Ready-Mixed Concrete Union Strike Enters Second Day; 70 Construction Sites in Seoul Metropolitan Area Face Delays

Construction sites across the Seoul metropolitan area have faced disruptions, including delays in concrete pouring, as the strike by the Ready-Mixed Concrete Transport Workers' Union, which began on June 8, enters its second day.

According to data reported to the 'Support Center for Business Difficulties Related to Ready-Mixed Concrete Strike' operated by the Construction Association of Korea, as of 3:00 p.m. today (June 9), concrete pouring for approximately 50,000 cubic meters has been delayed at 70 sites managed by 12 major construction companies due to the suspension of ready-mixed concrete supply.

This volume is equivalent to 8,348 mixer truck shipments.

The construction industry estimates that the actual scale of damage may exceed the reported figures, considering that there are approximately 19,000 ongoing construction projects in the Seoul metropolitan area.
