South Korea clears path for Hyundai Motor strike -union

Hyundai Motor's unionised workers have won permission to go on strike, the union said on Monday, raising the probability of the company's first wage-related industrial action in five years. The National Labor Relations Commission, a South Korean government organisation that handles labour disputes, cleared the way for strike action at the country's top car maker, the Hyundai Motor union said in a statement. The commission recognised large differences in positions between the company's management and union, Yonhap News Agency said on Monday.
