“We are not fully satisfied with the company’s offers but we hope to iron out differences with the company over time,” a union spokesman Song Ho-Chang told Dow Jones Newswires.


He said 76.9% of 28,809 union members who cast votes agreed to accept the revised wage deal and 72.3% agreed to the revised collective deal for this year.


Kia workers had rejected an earlier preliminary agreement in a vote held earlier in September.


The company welcomed the deals, which came after four months of negotiations with its 29,800-strong union.
