Hyundai Motor workers launch a three-day partial strike starting Monday after wage talks between the company and the union fail to reach an agreement, raising concerns about production disruptions at South Korea’s largest automaker. Multiple outlets report that workers on both day and night shifts stop work for set periods during the strike window. Bloomberg and other reports describe the dispute as focused on larger bonuses, with union demands tied to company results and heightened attention to job security amid advances in automation, including AI and robots. Korea Times and other sources add that the union has already staged partial walkouts earlier in the week and plans further strike action next week if negotiations remain unresolved. The union says wage negotiations have dragged through 15 rounds this year without narrowing differences. Reported union demands include a higher increase in monthly base pay and a performance-based bonus linked to a share of the company’s net profit. Hyundai has proposed a smaller base-pay increase and performance-related compensation. The company’s performance last year is cited by outlets as part of the bonus calculations, but the sides remain far apart.
