On May 23, the chapter’s 13 union members reached out to a child welfare center in a northern remote part of Pohang, a port city in North Gyeongsang Province.
Through the volunteer activity, the union members ran a program that included a visit to Alive Aquarium Daegu. Eleven children of multicultural families — mostly Vietnamese descendants — and eight underprivileged children took part.
The company said it had helped children in the remote area gain easier access to cultural activities through the program.
Headquartered in Incheon, some 30 kilometers west of Seoul, Hyundai Steel runs factories in port cities in Korea, including Incheon, Pohang, Dangjin, Suncheon and Ulsan, as well as in Qingdao, China.
