Hyundai workers stage first full strike in a decade — demanding protection from AI, not just higher wages
- About 40,000 Hyundai Motor workers staged South Korea's first full car industry strike in a decade on August 21.
- Workers demand a 50% performance pay hike, retirement age raised from 60 to 64 and job protections against AI replacing them.
- Partial strikes since late July have already disrupted production of 55,200 vehicles worth $1.67 billion — losses are growing.
- Hyundai says it is committed to dialogue — but if strikes continue, cumulative losses could hit 62,000 vehicles worth $1.85 billion.
