Sail GP Halifax: The Extreme Race Experience | SaltWire #racing #sailing #catamaranSEOUL - Bus drivers in the South Korean capital of Seoul went on strike on Thursday after last ditch efforts at negotiating a wage hike broke down, snarling the commute for the city of more than 9 million people and another million from the outskirts.
The full scale strike by the city's bus drivers is the first in 12 years. Their last strike lasted for around 20 minutes. Commuters in Seoul were left bewildered on Thursday morning, with some not being aware of the strike after the talks broke down before dawn, the Yonhap news agency reported. Buses in Seoul are operated on a quasi-public system in which private companies manage the buses while it's heavily subsidised and regulated by Seoul's city government to ensure accessibility of services.

South Korean doctors face suspensions after protesting against medical school admissions planThe impending suspensions are the punishments against physicians after more than 90% of the country's 13,000 doctors-in-training walked off the job last month to protest the government’s plan to sharply increase medical school admissions. Officials say the recruitment plan is aimed at adding more doctors to prepare for South Korea’s rapidly aging population in a country whose doctor-to-population ratio is one of the lowest in the developed world. But doctors say schools can’t handle an abrupt, steep increase in students, and that it would ultimately undermine the country’s medical services.
