This historic agreement marks a significant achievement for both the company and the union, avoiding a strike since 2019. The union had planned to go on strike, but withdrew the plan after management agreed to the highest-ever wage raise and the two-year reemployment program for skilled retired workers.

A signing ceremony is scheduled for Monday to formalize the agreement. Hyundai expressed its commitment to fulfilling its social responsibilities and working together with the union to prepare for a better future.

This agreement sets a positive tone for the company’s future and demonstrates the strength of the union-management relationship at Hyundai Motor Company.
