40,000 Hyundai Workers Prepare to Strike Against Robotization

Approximately 40,000 workers at South Korean automotive giant Hyundai have decided to go on strike in response to the company's plan to increase the use of humanoid robots on production lines. Workers under the Korean Metal Workers' Union (KMWU) argue that robots threaten their job security. Hyundai aims to deploy 25,000 humanoid robots at its global facilities by 2028. The union has been negotiating wage increases with the company since May. However, Hyundai's announcement of robot investment has heightened workers' concerns. 86% of KMWU members approved the strike. Workers are also demanding a $97 increase in the monthly base salary and a performance bonus equivalent to one-third of last year's profit. Hyundai reported revenue of $130 billion and a profit of $7.5 billion in 2025. The company's first-quarter 2026 revenue was $34 billion. Workers want a say in decisions shaping the future of production and stronger social benefits for long-term job security. The parties are expected to enter mediation at the Labor Relations Commission on Thursday. The strike is expected to cover all Hyundai factories in South Korea and cost $340 million per day. The last strike at Hyundai occurred in 2018. Worker actions against robotization and AI use are becoming more common globally. In the US, port workers, Amazon employees, and Samsung workers have staged similar actions. Hollywood writers' and actors' unions also went on strike in 2023 over AI threatening their jobs. This is not investment advice.

The price is trying to hold just above the 20-day moving average (95.12), but the 50-day average (100.13) presents a clear resistance. Although the robotization strike news at Hyundai does not directly affect BABA, it may lead to a general reduction in risk appetite for technology and automation stocks. In the short term, selling pressure is likely to continue.
