ULSAN, South Korea, July 15 (Yonhap) -- Workers at Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. on Friday voted to launch a strike demanding a greater say in management and a hike in wages.

But the approval of the proposed strike does not mean an immediate walkout, according to the labor union.

Should the shipbuilder's workers lay down their tools this year, it will mark the third consecutive year that the shipyard has faced a labor strike.

Since early May, the company's management and labor union have held 18 rounds of negotiations to narrow their differences, but failed to do so.

Workers at Samsung Heavy Industries Co. launched their first partial strike last week, calling on the company to scrap its restructuring move, including a massive job cut.
