Workers begin an indefinite strike at Hanon Systems’ Hungarian factory over a 10% pay demand
Boiling Points · Friday, 11 September 2026
Why it matters
This is a confirmed new, open-ended work stoppage in Europe rather than a strike threat, with the dispute extending across three sites. Its duration and whether the action spreads to the other locations will show whether a factory-level wage grievance develops into a broader company mobilization.
What happened
Employees at Hanon Systems Hungary’s factory in Székesfehérvár began an indefinite strike on September 10. Workers at three locations are demanding a uniform 10% wage increase; the company offered 4%, which workers say was not fully implemented. The strike committee says it remains willing to negotiate, while workers say requests to the company’s Korean management have not received a meaningful response.
