[Asia Economy Reporter Gong Byung-sun] The white-collar labor union of Hyundai Motor Group has decided to officially proceed with the registration process on the 26th.

According to industry sources on the 25th, the ‘Hyundai Motor Group Talent Respect White-Collar Research Staff Labor Union,’ composed of white-collar employees of Hyundai Motor Group, is planning to submit the union establishment registration form to the Seoul Regional Employment and Labor Office on the 26th.

If the union establishment certificate is issued within three days after submitting the registration form, the Hyundai Motor white-collar union will be able to formally exercise its rights under the Labor Union Act. Currently, about 4,500 members have gathered on the Naver Band created for forming the white-collar union. It is reported that around 500 employees have expressed their intention to join the white-collar union.

The executive committee is said to include employees from Hyundai Kefico, Hyundai Steel, and Kia. The white-collar union’s plan is to first establish the union at the group level rather than by individual companies, and then, as the scale grows, change the organizational structure through branch establishment and other means.

Although Hyundai Motor recorded its highest-ever sales last year, in the wage collective bargaining led by the production workers’ union, the company and labor agreed on base pay and performance bonuses at levels lower than the previous year. This has led to growing dissatisfaction among white-collar employees.
