Kia Motors union to strike

SEOUL (Reuter): The union at South Korea's Kia Motors Corp.
said yesterday its 15,000 members would start an all-out strike
tomorrow to press the government to step in to rescue the ailing
Kia Group.

Analysts called the move illogical, saying it would only drag
Kia into deeper trouble. They said a strike could also hurt other
companies in South Korea's car industry, which relies on a
tightly woven web of parts suppliers.

A strike would stop all production at Kia Motors, the
country's third-largest carmaker, as all blue-collar workers are
union members.
