  Hyundai workers stage 5-day partial strike for higher wages

  ULSAN, Jan. 10 (Yonhap) -- Unionized workers at Hyundai Motor Co. staged five straight days of partial strikes that started last week, a company official said Wednesday, as union leader was and management prepare to work out differences.
  The workers in the morning shift walked away from their production lines from 9:00 a.m. for six hours, while those on the evening shift plan to put down their tools at 5:40 p.m. for another six hours, sources said.
  The company and its union officials were to meet again at 2 p.m. at a Hyundai plant in Ulsan, an industrial city located about 410 kilometers south of Seoul, according to the union.
  In December, the carmaker and its union reached a tentative wage deal that would raise workers' basic monthly wages by 58,000 won (US$54) and provide bonuses worth 300 percent of basic pay plus 3 million won in extra compensation.
  But the union members later voted down the deal. The two sides have since held two rounds of negotiations.
  Still, the management did not present a revised offer, prompting the union members to begin the latest round of partial strikes last Thursday.
