SEOUL, Dec 4 — South Korea’s largest umbrella labour union today called an "indefinite general strike” until President Yoon Suk Yeol resigned, after he abandoned a short-lived attempt at martial law.

The 1.2 million-member Korean Confederation of Trade Unions accused Yoon of an "irrational and anti-democratic measure”, saying he had "declared the end of (his) own power”. — AFP
