  "summary": "The Korea Times reports that Seoul's city bus workers have voted to go on strike next week over wage concerns. Out of 16,089 unionized employees, 87.94 percent have decided to walk out, scheduled for next Wednesday. The ongoing dispute centers on the calculation of \"ordinary wages,\" with the union requesting an increase to 176 work hours and a 7.85 percent rise in hourly wages. These wage adjustments are expected to result in higher allowances for employees. The strike will proceed unless a resolution is reached during a mediation session scheduled for the following Tuesday.",
