The FT said that resolution of the dispute would be a welcome respite for Kia’s parent company Hyundai Motor, whose shares have fallen about 37% since early April.
Kia workers secured a 9.1 per cent wage increase in a deal similar to one granted to Hyundai workers last month, also after a strike, the FT said.
