According to the Korea Cement Association on the 7th, the cement industry shipped about 179,500 tons of the 180,000 tons that were scheduled to be shipped that day due to the collective refusal of transportation by the Cargo Solidarity, and failed to ship about 500 tons. The amount of damage is about 50 million won, and the cumulative amount of damage reaches 118.1 billion won. The cement industry analyzes that shipments have recovered to an almost normal level because cement shipments have increased due to the recovery of construction delays at construction sites across the country and the expansion of inventories at ready-mixed concrete factories. However, cement shipments are very low in parts of the metropolitan area, such as Paldang, and Busan and Jeju, where the proportion of union members is high, despite the order to start business. An official from the Cement Association said, “It may take some time to normalize until the shortage of cement supply in parts of the metropolitan area, Busan, and Jeju is resolved.” said.
