    SEOUL, December 19 (AJP) - Unionized railway workers on Friday again threatened to launch an indefinite strike starting next Tuesday, citing the failure to fulfill agreements over bonus payments.

    State-run rail operator KORAIL's workers, who called off a planned strike at the last minute earlier this week after tentatively agreeing to further discussions on performance-based bonuses, said they will go on strike from the first train on Jan. 23 unless the agreements are fulfilled.

    Once they proceed with the strike, that could halt an average of about 250 trains a day, prompting government authorities to call a meeting to discuss measures to avoid disruptions.

    These measures could include limiting bookings on some routes and canceling plans to run additional trains during the holiday season.
