A | 8 月 25 日消息,韩国最大汽车制造商现代汽车约有 4 万名员工于当地时间周五举行罢工离岗。根据工会数据,这是该公司十年来首次发生此类罢工。 British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace wants a major hike in armed forces spending in response to the conflict in Ukraine.,The BBC reported that Wallace will call on Chancellor of the exchequer Rishi Sunak to raise defense spending from around two per cent of GDP — the NATO target figure — to 2.5 percent.,The minister is expected to make comments to that effect when he addresses the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) Land Warfare Conference in Westminster later on Tuesday, before flying to Madrid for the NATO summit there.,"The defense secretary is expected to emphasize that now that the threat has changed, governments must be prepared to invest to keep us safe," said a defense source quoted by Sky News.,"We do not comment on alleged leaks," another defense source insisted, adding: "The defense secretary and the prime minister have always said that the government will respond to any changes in threat, which is why in 2020 the Ministry of Defence received a record defense settlement.",Britain has sent a battalion-sized force of soldiers to Estonia in a bid to confront Russia, while supplying Ukraine with thousands of man-portable anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons, over 120 armored vehicles and three M270 multiple-launch rocket artillery systems.,Wallace claimed earlier in June that Western military aid was helping the Ukrainian military make "significant progress" in the east of the country against Russian and Donbass forces. But recent days saw the capture of the city of Severodonetsk and a string of smaller settlements in Lugansk, with up to 8,000 Ukrainian troops now trapped in Lisichansk.,British Chief of General Staff General Sir Patrick Sanders told the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) conference on Tuesday morning that the crisis in Ukraine was "our 1937 moment" — a possible reference to then-prime minister Neville Chamberlain's simultaneous policy of appeasing towards Nazi Germany while re-arming Britain.,Sanders said his focus was on "mobilizing the army to meet the new threat we face", insisting: "The British Army is not mobilizing to provoke war, it is mobilizing to prevent war.",NATO Could Expand Eastern European Battlegroups to Brigade or Division-Size Forces: Report26 June, 15:49 GMT,The general called the scale of the conflict in Ukraine "unprecedented.","In all my years in uniform I haven't known such a clear threat to the principals of sovereignty and democracy and the freedom to live without fear of violence as the brutal aggression of President Putin and his expansionist ambitions," Sanders said.,"This is our 1937 moment," he added. "We are not at war but must act rapidly so that we aren't drawn into one through a failure to contain territorial expansion… I will do everything in my power to ensure that the British Army plays its part in averting war."。工会当地时间周一表示,已与公司恢复谈判,并推迟了原计划于本周初举行的短期罢工。现代汽车当地时间周二表示,双方已达成一项“初步协议”,而工会则表示,公司同意部分满足其诉求。工会在一份给法新社(AFP)的声明中说:“双方同意将基本月薪提高 10 万韩元(注:现汇率约合 486.7 元人民币),并发放相当于 4 个月工资的奖金。”公司还同意满足工会的另一项要求:待政府通过将全国法定退休年龄从 60 岁提高至 65 岁的相关立法后,提高员工退休年龄。工会表示,在退休年龄延长后,现代汽车将不会实行“工资峰值制”。该制度会在老年员工临近退休的最后几年逐步降低其工资。

B | 工会成员将于 8 月 31 日就这些提案进行投票。现代汽车一名发言人告诉法新社:“我们认可员工所作出的承诺,并感谢双方谈判团队为达成这一临时协议所付出的努力。”据韩国当地新闻机构 Newsis 计算,现代汽车员工今年累计罢工 60 小时,预计造成约 16 亿美元(现汇率约合 107.82 亿元人民币)的损失。

C | 现代汽车第二季度营收创历史新高,达到 492 万亿韩元(现汇率约合 2.39 万亿元人民币),但由于销量下滑,其营业利润同比下降 20.8%。
