- What workforce trends is the industry experiencing?
I would like to introduce an intersting story that is happening in Korea nowadays about
labour workforce for Hyundai automobile.
Nowadays in Korea, Hyundai automobile is facing a big issue concerning
strike from the labour force. This is an issue happening along from many many years ago till now on. No clear solutions have been made yet, and trouble seems to be raised more and more.
The basic problem with Hyundai's workforce trend is the temporary workers.
There are currently estimated 19,000 of temporary workers for Hyundai automobile.
From last Friday(Feb 25th), around 200 temp workers of Hyundai automobile gathered
in front of the Hyundai automobile head office in Seoul. They were on strike for more
than 4days without stopping. Their main objective was to guarantee their basic wage and rights
as well as to turn them into a regular.
Being a temp-worker, you will always have to live with a fear that you might loose your job
in one single day. As a matter of a fact, hundreds of people actually loose their job in a day without being pre-noticed. Since there is no regulations set for the temp-workers, Hyundai automobile has no responsibility towards them. This is why temp-workers of Hyundai auto strikes often and also some serious incidents has also happened on this strikes(such as committing suicide).
Like this, the workforce trend in Korea automobile is somewhat serious.
Hyundai company is a very successful and also a global company for sure, however they surely
must settle down the noise inside the company in order to grow further.
