GM Korea Union Leaders Head to the US Amid Trump Tariff Worries

Unionized workers at General Motors Co. plants in South Korea have expressed concerns over President Donald Trump’s mooted tariffs, worried they may lose their jobs if the factories they work at, which ship thousands of cars to the US, close or are impacted in some way.

Leaders of GM Korea’s labor union will depart the country on Saturday bound for Detroit where they plan to meet top GM officials, including, hopefully, GM International President Shilpan Amin, Ahn Kyu-baek, chairman of the local chapter of the Korean Metal Workers’ Union, said.
