Korean automaker Hyundai has told its shareholders it will divest its majority stake in the Alabama auto parts factory found to employ child labor in 2022. informs Reuters.
The workforce compliance review of Hyundai suppliers in the United States began in August 2022 following the publication of a Reuters investigation that underage children, including 12-year-olds, were working at the facilities. One of the suppliers where the violations were identified was a subsidiary of Hyundai, in which it has a 72% stake.
In a letter to shareholders, Hyundai said it currently fully complies with employment laws regarding the employment of minors. According to Reuters, many child workers are hired by third-party recruitment agencies that provide false documents for workers.
