Strike action had earlier been majority approved

Luke Martin September 20 2023

Hyundai and its unionised South Korean workforce have agreed a wage deal which will increase annual pay by 12%, Reuters reported.

The union said 58.8% of its voting members approved the agreement while 41.1% rejected it.

The union is one of the largest in the country and has over 40,000 members.

Last month, strike action was majority approved unless Hyundai accepted demands for wage increases and raising the retirement age from 60 to 64. The demand to increase the retirement age was not accepted.

AI set to be the face of the digital revolution shaping the automotive sector

The automotive sector is undergoing a digital transformation fuelled by changing global supply-chain dynamics, tighter market competition, and rising inflation. AI is a key part of this digital revolution. Focus is directed toward driver assistance features for safety and hazard detection and greater automation of many vehicle processes and functions. Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), facial recognition, and motion tracking will be vital for developing incockpit safety features such as early driver fatigue detection.
