Seoul hält eine Notfallversammlung ab, nachdem die Bürger bei den US -amerikanischen Hyundai -Überfällen festgenommen hatten

On the one hand, S Korea was in the wrong. On the other hand, they were probably late with their protection payment.

Look what this all boils down to is someone at Hyundai didnt pay the Trump bribe fast enough. That is literally all it is. Now they have to pay ransom.

Imagine losing South Korea to China also.

Fine. Now do bogus H1B visas.

Hyundai should pull its US domestic manufacturing plans, it’s gonna be a loser big time.

Go help your farmers Trump

He unites the rest of the world.

get out of there hyundai, these people have no respect for workers, especially foreign workers

Probably some Koreans who overstay their visa. I doubt that a company who spends billions building plants in the US can afford to pay a visa for their workers. If it’s the case the raid was not necessary, just get in touch with the workers facilitating their visa renewal process.

What the fuck were the Chaebols thinking? 475 Korean workers on a visa that explicitly allows them to attend meetings and trainings, but does not allow them to perform regular work, doing work to build a car battery factory. There were so many of them that work has now been brought to a halt by their absence. All of this while the Cheeto Menace is running his ICE Basiji all across the U.S. rounding up people he considers to be undesirables. Of course this was going to happen.

I see no good guys here and 475 victims that were exploited by Hyundai and are now in the custody of an unfriendly government.

Mixed feeling about this.

Require foreign company to move production to US so they can employee US workers and invest in US infrastructure and employment- yeah okay. I am okay with that.

Company moves Korean workers illegally to US so they can keep proces down and are now not investing or hiring US workers – yeah, not okay with that. Company is „cheating“

Exporting the workers back to Korea – mixed here. It is not like picking people up in the street and sending them to Guatemala or other „camps“ in third world countries or sending them back to the country they were fleeing. They are being sent back to Sout Korea – not sure how i feel about this. I can see arguments on both sides.

End result – Company will not get fined or punished. No company that employ undocumented workers ever are, so the practice will continue. Only ones hurt are of course. The undocumented workers who are being exploited and deported. – the cycle continues. Nothing really changes.
