Hyundai Motor Temporarily Suspends Plan to Build LNG Cogeneration Plant at Ulsan Factory
Unions and Civic Groups Oppose... Labor: "Management Holds Back Due to Labor-Management Conflict"
[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Hyundai Motor Company has reportedly put on hold its plan to build a liquefied natural gas (LNG) combined heat and power plant at its Ulsan plant as of the 2nd.
Hyundai Motor had planned to produce about 70% of its electricity consumption through the construction of the LNG combined heat and power plant. However, the Hyundai Motor labor union has opposed the project, arguing that the plan lacks employment and deployment plans for union members in the construction and operation of the LNG plant, thus having no employment inducement effect. The union stated, "The company has conveyed its position to postpone the construction of the power plant citing labor-management conflicts as the reason."
