The labor union at HMM in South Korea appealed for better working conditions and higher wages, and when they voted for or against the strike, 92% of the union members voted in favor.
The union said that if their demands were not accepted, all the sailors would get off at Busan port and go on strike.
However, the negotiations, which began in the afternoon of 1st September, took 18 hours and finally reached the conclusion between the company and the labor union.
