Hyundai said Tuesday it had reached a tentative wage deal with labour unions to end a series of damaging partial strikes at the world’s fifth largest automaker.
Some 40,000 Hyundai workers have launched a partial strike over a wage row fuelled by union anger at the South Korean carmaker’s $10 billion bid for a plot of land in Seoul.
Workers at the main Hyundai plant in the southern city of Ulsan and others across the country walked off their jobs for two hours on Tuesday and Wednesday, a union spokesman said.
