The union is one of the largest in the country and has over 40,000 members.
Strike action was majority approved (almost 90% of workers) unless Hyundai accepted their demands.
These include a minimum basic monthly pay increase of 184,900 won ($139) and performance pay equating to 30% of Hyundai’s 2022 net profit.
If a strike goes ahead, it will be the first time in five years that action like this has been taken in relation to wage negotiations with the automaker.
