Hyundai Workers Strike in South Korea

Hyundai Motor Co., South Korea’s largest automaker, may lose production of about 6,000 of its Sonata sedans, Santa Fe sport utility vehicles and other vehicles because of a three-day strike that its workers started Wednesday.

The auto workers are asking for an 11% pay increase, or $105 more a month, a 40-hour workweek and other benefits.

Workers at Kia Motors Corp., an affiliate of Hyundai Motor, and Ssangyong Motor Co., South Korea’s No. 4 automaker, also went on strike.
