CitizenVectron Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Exclusive: Hyundai subsidiary has used child labor at Alabama factory WWW.REUTERS.COM A subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Co has used child labor at a plant that supplies parts for the Korean carmaker's assembly line in nearby Montgomery, Alabama, according to area police, the family of three underage workers, and eight former and current employees of the factory. Quote A subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Co has used child labor at a plant that supplies parts for the Korean carmaker's assembly line in nearby Montgomery, Alabama, according to area police, the family of three underage workers, and eight former and current employees of the factory. Underage workers, in some cases as young as 12, have recently worked at a metal stamping plant operated by SMART Alabama LLC, these people said. SMART, listed by Hyundai in corporate filings as a majority-owned unit, supplies parts for some of the most popular cars and SUVs built by the automaker in Montgomery, its flagship U.S. assembly plant. Quote Reuters learned of underage workers at the Hyundai-owned supplier following the brief disappearance in February of a Guatemalan migrant child from her family's home in Alabama. The girl, who turns 14 this month, and her two brothers, aged 12 and 15, all worked at the plant earlier this year and weren't going to school, according to people familiar with their employment. Their father, Pedro Tzi, confirmed these people's account in an interview with Reuters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaku3 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 We have wealth inquality like the late 19th/ early 20th centuries. Might as well bring back child labor. Considering how beat down Americans are it might actually stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleronin Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Hyundai should adopt the kids and sue saying it isnt child labour just the children helping around the family business. With Roe being overturned there will be a new influx in certain states of corporate families as the SCOTUS will rule that corporations can adopt and bypass child labour laws.

Keyser_Soze Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 6 hours ago, unogueen said: In other news how many want to trust their investment Hyundai and Kia units carry a lot of debt. They recently introduced fuel-efficient vehicles. However, Wall Street executives think they will have to pay more for borrowing money. Even if Kia's sales improve, Hyundai has been hurt by Sino-US trade tensions and an emerging car glut. The company needs to reassure investors and consumers. To that end, Kia's new Discover Navigation system features artificial intelligence that will learn a driver's behavior so it can suggest features that it believes will make their driving more enjoyable. One feature could be checking your alcohol level (yes, on the touchscreen!) or you could have the voice recognition software order you a pizza for your drive home.
