Unionized workers at Hyundai Motor accept wage deal

The Korea HeraldIndependentCenter10 hr. ago

Unionized workers at Hyundai Motor Co., South Korea's largest automaker, have voted to accept a wage deal that includes a 100,000 won ($73) monthly base pay increase, performance bonuses equivalent to 400% of their wages, and additional cash compensation. The agreement was approved by 61.55% of 31,166 union members who cast ballots. The deal follows multiple strikes by the union, which led to approximately 120 hours of production disruption and an estimated loss of 55,200 vehicles and over 2.3 trillion won in sales. The agreement also includes plans to extend the retirement age from 60 to 65, contingent on legal changes.
