Hyundai trade unions consider strike

Trade unions in the Hyundai car manufacturing plant in Nošovice in the north-east of the country are considering going on strike over poor working conditions and having to work overtime, a trade union spokesman said on Friday. Union leaders met with the plant management on Friday and said they would submit their demands at the start of next week. They said however that they would declare a strike alert on Monday.

Some 400 employees of the Hyundai plant in Nošovice went on an unofficial hour-long strike on Wednesday, and the plant’s trade unions later backed the action.
