Hyundai's Union Strikes Three Days Over Pay And A Robot
Hyundai Motor's union struck July 13 to 15, demanding limits on deploying Atlas, its new humanoid robot, across assembly lines.
- A July 10 union notice vowed the walkout would not waver until met.
- A February 4 statement branded unchecked robot deployment 'a disaster for humanity.'
- On May 27 the union reopened its committee to defend members' jobs absolutely.
Why it matters: A union that once bargained over wages now bargains to keep humans necessary at all.
