An umbrella labor union has announced a general strike of indeterminate length, saying the strike will continue until President Yoon Suk Yeol resigns. 

The central executive committee of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions(KCTU) announced the decision Wednesday morning in a press conference at its office in Seoul, saying the labor union will fight alongside the people for the end of the Yoon administration. 

The KCTU said the general strike will be the beginning of the end of an era of inequality and polarization, and that it will start a new era of respect for labor.

KCTU members in the capital region gathered for a rally at Gwanghwamun Square in central Seoul on Wednesday morning and separate gatherings at locations designated by the local headquarters.
