[THE INVESTOR] Workers at Hyundai Motor staged a partial strike for the second day on July 20, demanding a pay raise and better working conditions.
They walked off the job for four hours from 11:30 a.m. at the company’s plant in Ulsan and other facilities. On July 19, they also launched a four-hour strike.
Last week, a majority of the automaker‘s some 48,000 unionized workers voted for a strike as their talks with the company’s management over a wage increase and other issues were ruptured.
The workers will also put down their tools for four hours a day on July 21 and July 22. Hyundai Motor estimates some 40 billion won (US$35 million) a day in production losses due to the partial strike.
Meanwhile, unionized workers at its affiliate Kia Motors are also considering joining a partial strike on July 22, according to industry sources. Kia’s 31,000-member union voted for a strike earlier this month.
