Hyundai claims humanoid robot plan is not part of talks with striking workers

Hyundai has clarified that its plans to deploy humanoid robots by 2028 are not part of ongoing discussions with striking workers. While the union previously warned that any robot deployment must be negotiated, the automaker assures that these technological goals remain separate from current labor issues. The company maintains that the present negotiations are strictly focused on resolving matters related to worker wages and retirement, rather than the integration of humanoid robotics into operations.
