Workers at Hyundai Motor, South Korea's largest automaker, have begun a three-day strike after wage negotiations with management broke down. The action is expected to disrupt the company's production line.

Union members will down tools for four hours a day until July 15. It remains unclear when talks between the two sides might resume.

The dispute comes amid a period of heightened tension in labor relations across South Korea's auto industry. Analysts say a prolonged strike could affect the company's production targets and delivery schedules.
