South Korea: The Ready-Mixed Concrete Transportation Workers’ Union (RUNJ) has halted the supply of ready-mixed concrete for Hyundai Development Company’s Kwangwoon University Station mixed-used development in Seoul. The union opposes the company's plans to install ready-mix concrete batching plants at the construction site. ChosunBiz News has reported that Hyundai Development Company made its decision due to traffic concerns.
RUNJ said "Construction firms directly installing batch plants at sites where ready-mixed concrete can be transported from nearby plants is nothing short of taking away the livelihood of the ready-mixed concrete transport industry. If the installation of batch plants is pushed forward, we plan to completely refuse ready-mixed concrete transportation, not only at Hyundai Development Company's sites but also at all construction sites nationwide."
