Hyundai Motor Co.'s labor union voted Friday to walk off the job for part of the workday next week amid a dispute over bonus payments, but the beleaguered automaker warned a strike could lead to "the destruction of both the company and the union." Hyundai's union said on its Web site that its members will quit working for a total of eight hours over two shifts Monday at each its three assembly plants. Workers plan normal shifts Tuesday, but on Wednesday will strike for a total of 14 hours over two shifts, the union said. It will decide further action, if any, on Wednesday.
