Hyundai Motor is struggling to move finished cars so it can make more cars, while more than half of the country’s ready-mix concrete factories have suspended operations due to a halt in the shipment of cement.

Unionized truck drivers have been on a strike since Tuesday demanding higher wages and an extension of support measures, which expire at the end of this year. They blocked gates at distribution centers and refused to transport cargo. Cargo Truckers Solidarity, a union, is leading of strike, and more than 7,000 people are participating, according to local media reports.

About one-third of all unionized truckers have joined in, though the number varied by the day.

The truck drivers and the government have been negotiating all weekend but have so far failed reach a compromise.
