SEOUL, South Korea -- Hyundai Motor Co.'s union decided to end a strike Wednesday after the company agreed to pay full bonus payments, officials said, resolving one of the latest obstacles facing South Korea's largest automaker.
Hyundai agreed to pay the remainder of an agreed bonus of 1 1/2 months, but only after workers meet production goals to make up for losses incurred from strikes last year and the latest walkouts, according to a deal signed between company and union officials.

ULSAN, South Korea, July 24 (UPI) -- Workers at South Korea's Hyundai Motor Company voted Saturday to accept a new contract and avoid a strike, Hyundai and the union announced.
About 58 percent of the 42,286 members of the union approved the package, which included a pay raise and a bonus payment.
South Korea's Yonhap News Agency said the new contract headed off a strike at Hyundai's main plant in Ulsan, which has been hit by strikes on virtually a yearly basis since 1987.
"The approval marks a new milestone for Hyundai's labor-management relationship," Hyundai Vice President Kang do-han told reporters.
