Hyundai's auto workers in South Korea have gone on a partial strike to demand pre-emptive action in response to the threat of humanoid robots. Workers are demanding job security against future industrial shifts as humanoid robot technology improves. Hyundai plans to deploy its Atlas humanoid robot by 2028 at its nonunionized Metaplant factory complex in Georgia. The company says it is committed to constructive engagement with the union to reach an agreement that supports the long-term interests of both employees and the company.
