Hyundai Motor Co , Korea's top automaker, is investigating child labor violations in its U.S. supply chain and plans to 'sever ties' with Hyundai suppliers in Alabama found to have relied on underage workers, the company's global chief operating officer Jose Munoz told Reuters on Wednesday.
In an interview before a Reuters event in Detroit on Wednesday, Munoz said Hyundai intends to "sever relations" with the two Alabama supplier plants under scrutiny for deploying underage labor "as soon as possible."
Hyundai's $1.8 billion flagship U.S. assembly plant in Montgomery produced nearly half of the 738,000 vehicles the automaker sold in the United States last year, according to company figures. Munoz told Reuters: "Hyundai is pushing to stop using third party labor suppliers, and oversee hiring directly."
