[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] Hankook Tire & Technology (hereinafter referred to as Hankook Tire) will conduct a switchover and voluntary retirement for workers at its Daejeon plant who have been shut down due to a large fire, including the factory being burned down.
Hankook Tire said on the 20th that it has established a plan to deploy 823 employees and voluntarily retire. The decision came after a large fire that broke out on the 12th of last month burned down the second plant, halted the operation of the first plant altogether, and continued the closure of factory employees. Initially, a joint inspection team consisting of police and fire authorities tried to conduct the inspection twice, but even the inspection schedule was postponed due to the risk of the collapse of the building, and it is not known at the moment when the plant will be restarted.
A total of 823 employees are eligible for this personnel transition and voluntary retirement. There are 546 people who are subject to double conversion deployment. It will work at domestic and foreign factories, including 213 at Daejeon's first plant, 265 at Geumsan's plant in South Chungcheong Province and 68 at its plants in Tennessee and Hungary in the U.S.
However, voluntary retirement will be carried out for the remaining 219 people, excluding 58 people. Hankook Tire is said to have begun accepting applications for retirement on the same day for those who wish to work in production for more than 10 years.
