Labor dispute halts Hyundai Motor's Genesis production for second day

What happened: Genesis production at Hyundai Motor's Ulsan Plant 5 stayed suspended for a second day after union officials blocked a trial-production unit for the upcoming Genesis G80 hybrid from entering the line. Key numbers: Shutdown began around 9 a.m. Monday. Line normally starts at 6:45 a.m. Why it matters: The two sides have not agreed on labor hours for the G80 hybrid and a facelifted G90, and union representatives reportedly fear the new models could let the company run the line with fewer workers. It is unclear when production will resume.
