The United Auto Workers is condemning a decision by Hyundai to sever its ties with two auto suppliers accused of using child labor to supply parts to the automaker’s plant in Montgomery, Alabama.
Muñoz said Hyundai would launch an investigation throughout its U.S. supply chain to determine whether labor laws are being violated. In addition, he pledged that Hyundai would stop relying on third party labor suppliers in its U.S. operations and oversee hiring directly.
Hyundai has not given a timetable for cutting ties with the two suppliers, or when it will wrap up its own investigation. The union also urged the Biden Administration to make sure Hyundai receives no subsidies, loans or other support from U.S. taxpayers “until the company commits to work with the community to remedy workplace problems, agrees to a monitoring mechanism, and establishes highroad workplace practices.”
