工會嘅訴求主要分為兩大類:
其實喺2026年1月,工會已經警告,未經同意引入仿生人會帶嚟「就業衝擊」 。6月24日嘅罷工授權投票以92.03% 贊成票通過,令到保護工人免受仿生人威脅成為談判桌上嘅正式要求 。
擁有波士頓動力嘅現代汽車,計劃將Atlas仿生人引入南韓嘅生產業務 。Atlas高約190厘米(約6呎3吋),係一款雙足步行機械人,專為搬運零件同裝配等工業工序而設計 。
公司嘅計劃最早喺2026年1月公開,當時已經透露會開始將仿生人引入生產線 。工會嘅核心立場係:未有勞動協議前,Atlas唔可以進入廠房 。
7月13日至15日嘅部分罷工造成咗可量度嘅混亂:
現代汽車嘅爭議發生喺整個行業急速發展嘅背景下:
現代汽車嘅罷工係勞資雙方就呢項技術嘅首次重大對抗,可能會為未來車廠同工會就仿生人部署嘅談判立下先例。
有分析認為,仿生人喺汽車製造業嘅應用正處於「從實驗室到量產」嘅轉捩點 。現代汽車工會嘅行動,唔單止影響公司本身,亦可能為韓國以至全球嘅勞工權益同自動化技術之間嘅平衡,帶嚟深遠影響 。
