SEOUL, March 9 (UPI) -- South Korean automaker Hyundai Motors is accused of discriminating against subcontractors while handing out free face masks to employees amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
The automaker is accused of giving high-quality, protective face masks to regular employees, while only distributing "mouth warmers" to subcontractors, according to a statement from the Korean Metal Workers Union. Mouth warmers are thought to be ineffective in preventing the spread of the virus.
