Workers at South Korea's largest automaker, Hyundai Motor, announced they will continue their partial strikes next week as their wage increase demands were not met. The company's union stated that employees in day and night shifts will walk off the job for four hours each day from Wednesday to next Friday.
There have been 15 rounds of wage negotiations between the union and company management this year, but the parties could not bridge their differences over wages. The 40,000-member union is demanding a 149,600 won increase in the monthly base salary and a performance bonus equal to 30 percent of last year's net profit.
The company, which generated a net profit of 10.36 trillion won (approximately 7.07 billion dollars) last year, proposed only an 80,000 won increase in wages. The extension of the strikes raises concerns that there could be disruptions in the production processes of the giant automaker, which also manufactures popular models such as the Sonata and Palisade.
