The Korean Railway Workers Union opposes the Korea Railroad(Korail) plan to outsource the KTX maintenance and repair business, citing the reason that the outsourcing will threaten the passenger and rail safety.

 

Civic and social organizations also join the opposition against the Korail's move. Even leading presidential candidates oppose the outsourcing of safety-related business. However, the Korail is adamant in its decision to pursue the outsourcing of KTX maintenance and repair business.
