Samsung Faces Strike From Nearly 48,000 Union Workers

Nearly 48,000 Samsung workers in South Korea plan an 18-day strike after talks stalled over bonus caps and profit-sharing.

Samsung rejected the union’s demands as excessive, while a court ordered some workers to keep reporting to limit production disruption.

The dispute could affect Samsung’s key memory business, a major profit driver, even as the company posts record earnings.

The strike puts pressure on Samsung’s labor costs and bonus policy amid growing scrutiny from workers and mediators.
