Hyundai workers staged their first strike

Unionized workers at South Korea's top carmaker Hyundai Motor Co. said Thursday that they will hold a partial walkout before this weekend after negotiations with the management stalled on whether to count regular bonuses towards ordinary wages.
The labor union said it plans to wage a four-hour strike from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and 10:10 p.m. to 12:10 a.m. on Friday, adding it has also decided to refuse to work overtime this weekend.
