We, the undersigned, urge you to support legislation that would end economic tax incentives to Hyundai."
Hyundai solely owns a supplier who has been using child labor in its manufacturing facility.
According to Reuters, “Underage workers, in some cases as young as 12, have recently worked at a metal stamping plant operated by SMART Alabama LLC, these people said. SMART, listed by Hyundai in corporate filings as a majority-owned unit, supplies parts for some of the most popular cars and SUVs built by the automaker in Montgomery, its flagship U.S. assembly plant.”
Hyundai has received $234,600,000 in economic tax incentives from Alabama. Our tax dollars should not be given to companies that violate federal labor laws.
We are urging you to support legislation that would end these economic tax incentives to Hyundai.

The massive surge in support proves people are finally sick of Alabama subsidizing Hyundai and their child labor scandals. These executives thought they could hide their tracks in Alabama but the public is watching now.

We must hold corporations accountable for their gross actions of profiting from the exploitation of laborers and infringing on people’s fundamental rights. The acts exhibited by Hyundai trafficking children to aid in producing manufacturing parts to support industry are horrendous. What’s more disgusting is that with incentives tax payers' resources are used to advance modern-day slavery. We demand incentives stop immediately for corporations that engage in such practice.
