Riot policemen clash with dump truck drivers during a protest in Seoul December 5, 2005. Riot police used water cannons as hundreds of dump truck drivers tried to march toward the parliament. About 8,000 unionised dump truck drivers began an indefinite general strike across the country on Monday as they demanded better working conditions and that parliament revise the road law, which they insist punishes the drivers instead of employers in cases of overloading. The drivers also demanded the government give them subsidies for soaring oil prices and that the Labor Standard Law be applied to them.
