화물연대 20년사 2002~2022 / 20-Year History of the Cargo Truckers Solidarity Union (2002–2022)

The 20-Year History of the Cargo Truckers Solidarity traces the formation and development of Korea’s organized truck drivers’ movement from 2002 to 2022. The book documents how cargo workers, facing neoliberal globalization and precarious employment, united to build a powerful national organization and halt logistics to demand survival rights and labor protections. It details major nationwide strikes, collective bargaining efforts, and struggles for basic labor rights, including the fight for industrial unionization and legal recognition. A central focus is the long campaign for the Safe Freight Rate System, highlighting sustained resistance, mass mobilizations, and eventual legislative success. Through concrete workplace struggles and historical context, the book presents cargo workers as active agents shaping labor rights, safety, and dignity in modern Korean history.
