Hyundai Motor union leaders visit N. Korea for noodle project

   ULSAN, Oct. 31 (Yonhap) -- Union leaders of Hyundai Motor Co., South Korea's largest carmaker, left for North Korea to attend a ceremony to mark the completion of a corn noodle plant in the North's capital, union officials said Wednesday.

Hyundai's 44,000-strong union has donated 500 million won (US$553,800), collected from unionized workers for a mere $13 each, to help a South Korean humanitarian group build the noodle factory in the impoverished North.
