Hyundai Says Humanoid Robot Plans Not Part of Current Talks with Striking Workers

Hyundai Motor Company denies that its plan to deploy humanoid robots in the United States by 2028 is a factor in ongoing partial strikes by its union at the world’s largest automotive plant in South Korea. The company states that the union's demands are centered on compensation issues, including wage increases, bonuses, and retirement age extensions. Hyundai emphasizes that potential robot deployment in Korean production facilities is not part of the current labor-management discussions and remains committed to reaching an agreement that supports both employees and the company.
