UIWANG, South Korea (Reuters) - South Korea's unionised truckers and the transport ministry reached an agreement on Tuesday, ending a nationwide strike that lasted for eight days, a truckers union said in statement

       Truckers launched the strike last week, shutting down steel plants, disrupting car production and delaying shipments of raw materials needed for semiconductors. The protest was related to soaring fuel prices and minimum pay demands.
