I Worked For Hyundai. What I Saw Will Shock You.

More Perfect Union | April 8, 2026



Hyundai’s supply chain involves workplace deaths, involuntary servitude and child labor.

Investigators found children as young as 13 working in Hyundai factories.

Now the Trump administration is trying to weaken the rules that could hold Hyundai accountable.

    i work for one of the companies that used to be the main contractor for TSMC in Arizona as an IT manager, everyone talked about how we "lost" phase 2 and 3 of the project and lost out on a billion or more, I was in "THE" meeting that determined if we were going to continue to be the contractor, and the Taiwanese executives that were across the table asked "what are the acceptable losses for the project" and one of the project managers said that we calculated for about 10% profit lose due to delays, warranty work and potential work stoppages/inspections, the taiwanese guys said "no, not money, what is the acceptable loss of workforce to prevent delays" the project manager was in shock once he realized they were asking how many employees are we ok with dying, our entire side of the table was like "ZERO" they rolled their eyes like we were being ridiculous for suggesting no one should die. the company took the loss and said "you are not firing us, we are stopping all work and leaving" and we did, I had to recover so much equipment and it was a pain but also a relief to be out of there.

    This video is perfect in showing why illegal immigration is horrible, illegal immigration is a breeding ground for worker exploitation, and child exploitation. Itโ€™s also ironic in the same breath when Trump removes illegal grants from these factories, he is also to blame for everyoneโ€™s problems. And weโ€™re all going to just ignore the fact that the Biden administration allowed this to happen under their watch with the legal immigration. Iโ€™m so sick of this one-sided reporting.

    Itโ€™s amazing how it started under Clinton, passed through Obama and Biden, and now itโ€™s Trump bad.
    People will always find reasons to complain it doesnโ€™t make them true, also nothing here is proof just people telling stories. Last I checked people arenโ€™t honest. The mentality of I want more, why does no one except so do wealthy people. Donโ€™t like donโ€™t work there.

    Trying to save american car brands? The fall is inevitable, you will not manufacture your overpriced fuel guzzlers for many yesrs to come. Losing international markets at a rapid rate. Loyal americans will be your last customer base untill they realise how much more they get for the same money from the CHINESE!!!

    Ford plants are union and they treat employees with respect. The union contract guarantees a living wage. Do you really want to buy a car from a foreign corporation, that is made with $12/hr wages?

    The bosses of these companies are the same types of people telling you, the average worker, that its dangerous to fix your own cars and phones , and that you should fork out 40000 for an electric vehicle because your 15 year old perfectly functioning corolla is harmful to the environment.

    Visa Clarification: A U.S.-South Korea working group later clarified that B-1 visas and the ESTA program do allow for the installation and servicing of specialized overseas equipment, which was the primary role of many of the detained engineers.
