现代汽车工会进一步升级劳资谈判施压力度，将每日罢工时间由此前的2小时延长至4小时。据韩国金属工会现代汽车支部16日消息，工会当天召开会议，决定于7月20日至22日连续三天每天举行4小时罢工。工会表示：“公司至今未提出具有前瞻性的谈判方案。不过，只要劳资谈判重新启动，工会将暂停罢工行动。”现代汽车劳资双方的正式谈判已陷入僵局超过一周。知情人士透露，此后双方虽持续进行非正式工作层面的沟通协调，但始终未取得实质性进展。目前，劳资双方分歧最大的焦点集中在工会提出的“单独诉求”。除提高基本工资外，工会还坚持要求：将奖金比例由目前的750%提高至800%；恢复被解雇工会成员的工作岗位；延长退休年龄。对于上述诉求，工会态度强硬，没有让步迹象。业内预计，如果双方下周仍无法缩小分歧，今年的薪资及集体协议谈判可能陷入长期拉锯。
