Ulsan Hyundai production workers are pouring out of the finished work.
They do not go to the factory for a while.
When parts run out due to the Chinese factories of partner companies, starting with the Genesis production line, we are going to the so-called 'Shutdown', which builds not only Gulpi but also Ulsan, Asan and Jeonju factories.
For Hyundai, approximately 9,000 production disruptions a day were inevitable.
Once you are closed for up to 11 days, 70% of your average wage is paid.
As announced by Ssangyong, we have now closed the Pyeongtaek plant.
Due to the nature of the automotive industry, which has a vertical subcontract structure, the suspension of top vehicle manufacturers directly affects suppliers.
Right now, there are a lot of business partners who went out of business.
[Ssangyong Motor Co. Employees: I hope it's done soon. I'm a little worried that it will last a little longer.]
Although we are procuring replacement parts in Korea and Southeast Asia in a hurry, it is not easy for companies that have already moved their production bases to China.
[Pilsu Kim / Professor, Department of Automotive, Daelim University: China is so close and logistics costs are cheap. China is a country where the level of technology has risen considerably. You have to verify (even if you find an alternate supply line) and that's not simple.]
Although the resumption of operations at a local plant in China is best, the prospect of longer shutdowns is predominant for now.
