  "summary": "Hyundai Motor workers are set to stage a series of four-day partial strikes due to an ongoing wage dispute, according to the labor union's announcement. The union, representing 40,000 employees, has decided to hold four-hour strikes on Wednesday and Thursday, followed by six-hour strikes on Friday and Sunday. This marks a significant escalation from last month's partial strikes, which lasted a total of 30 hours and resulted in an estimated production loss of 42,510 vehicles. The union's demands include a 149,600-won ($105.6) increase in monthly base pay and a performance-based bonus equivalent to 30 percent of the company's net profit for last year. In response, Hyundai has offered an 80,000-won ($56.7) increase in monthly base pay, a performance bonus equivalent to 350 percent of the monthly salary plus 10 million won, as well as 15 shares of company stock.",
