HD Hyundai Heavy Union Launches Sept. 2 Partial Strike After First Offer Rejected
HD Hyundai Heavy Industries union launched a seven-hour partial strike at 9 a.m. Sept. 2 after rejecting the company’s first formal offer in the 18th round of main talks. The union seeks higher monthly base pay (+149,600 won), double bonuses, and at least 30% of operating profit as performance pay, saying gains must be shared even in downturns. Strikes have occurred four straight years since 2023, and another four-hour partial walkout is planned Sept. 15.
