Two major South Korean conglomerates, LG Energy Solution and Hyundai Motor Group, have distanced themselves from the legal actions taken by workers who were detained in a U.S. immigration raid at their joint battery plant in Georgia last year.
An LG Energy Solution official revealed that the company became aware of the employees' legal actions only after media reports surfaced. The official emphasized that the company had no knowledge of the legal proceedings until then and would not intervene, as the actions were initiated by individual workers. LG Energy Solution does not monitor which employees are participating in the campaign.
Hyundai Motor Group also clarified that none of its personnel were among those detained during the incident. The company stated that it does not engage in any legal action taken individually by workers from partner companies or those who were dispatched to the site.
