Yonhap<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">The labor union of Hyundai Motor said Tuesday it will stage partial strikes throughout this week after failing to reach an agreement with management over wages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">The automaker&#8217;s union said it decided to stage four-hour strikes on Wednesday and Thursday and an eight-hour strike on Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">The union also said it will launch four-hour partial strikes on Monday and Tuesday as well next week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">So far, the union has staged a combined 44 hours of partial strikes since it started wage talks with the management.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">The latest walkout comes after management and the union failed to narrow their differences over wages. The two sides last held their 16th round of negotiations earlier in the day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">The 40,000-member union is demanding a 149,600 won ($105.60) increase in monthly base pay and a performance-based bonus equivalent to 30 percent of the company&#8217;s net profit for last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"editor-p\">The company, however, has offered an 80,000 won increase in monthly base pay, a performance bonus equivalent to 350 percent of monthly salary plus 10 million won, as well as 15 shares of company stock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Morning shift workers leave early after a four-hour partial strike at Hyundai Motor&#8217;s plant in Ulsan&#8217;s Buk District,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":128664,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[295,702],"class_list":["post-128663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hyundai-motor","tag-hyundai","tag-hyundai-motor"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128663"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128663\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128664"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
