There has been yet another delay in the ruling on a landmark court case, challenging the use of subcontracting by Korean auto company Hyundai. This court case, lodged in 2010 by 1,569 Hyundai subcontractors, is part of an 11-year struggle to force Hyundai to convert its subcontractors to full, permanent employees. Employing workers as sub-contractors is a common strategy to avoid paying full wages and benefits. Hyundai has also had disputes with its workers in India in recent years.
