The union representing workers at South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor said on Monday it had resumed wage talks with management after staging its first full-day strike in a decade.
The action at the country's largest carmaker on Friday saw around 40,000 employees walk off the job, according to union figures, after discussions over pay and retirement broke down. They have come against a backdrop of concerns over job security as artificial intelligence transforms South Korea's automotive industry, a pillar of the Asian nation's economy.
A union representative confirmed to AFP on Monday that talks with management would restart from 2:00 pm.
A planned four-hour walkout that day had been scrapped, but one slated for Tuesday may still take place, the representative said.
