Major South Korea labour group says to strike

SEOUL, June 17 (Reuters) - A major South Korean labour group said on Tuesday it would strike to protest against President Lee Myung-bak's economic reform plans, putting more pressure on the embattled leader facing street rallies calling for his ouster.

The move by the more than 600,000-strong, militant Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, which represents auto, healthcare and financial service workers, comes as Lee is trying to resolve a truckers' strike over soaring fuel costs that has paralysed the export-dependent country's ports.
