Korean transport unions end strikes    The Korean Truck Drivers’ Association voted Friday to end its three-day general strike and to return to work, forwarder Expeditors International said in a notice to clients.
   On Saturday, the Korean Rail Maintenance Union agreed to end its walkout after the Korea Railway Corp. promised to minimize disciplinary and legal action against workers who participated in the strike, according to the Korea Herald.
