Incheon: Unionized airport security screening workers at Incheon International Airport on Friday withdrew their plan to refuse overtime during the extended Chuseok holiday. The workers, who belong to Incheon International Airport Security, an affiliate of Incheon International Airport Corp., decided to scrap the plan after agreeing with management to discuss their demands at a later date.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the decision alleviates concerns about increased passenger congestion over the weeklong holiday, which began the same day and is anticipated to experience heavy travel volumes. The unionized workers have demanded an end to what they describe as “labor union suppression” and have called for an increase in staffing.

Meanwhile, unionized workers in other sectors, such as cleaning, traffic control, firefighting, and facility maintenance, have organized separate strikes at 15 airports nationwide, including Incheon International Airport, since Wednesday.
