KCTU members also held a general strike in 14 regions throughout the country. Workers in Hyundai Motor production facilities, nurses, medical technicians and hospital workers partook in the demonstration. The general strike involved 160,000 workers refusing to work simultaneously, and the demonstration outside the National Assembly was around 10,000 strong, according to the organizers.
