Samsung Strike Threat Deepens as Union Rejects Company Overture, Raising Fears of Major Chip Supply Disruption - Tekedia

Samsung Electronics’ largest union says it will carry out an 18-day strike after wage and bonus talks failed.

The news sent Samsung shares sharply lower and raised fears of disruptions to chip production and deliveries.

A prolonged stoppage at the world’s biggest memory chipmaker could squeeze global semiconductor supply as AI chip demand surges.

The dispute may ripple through tech manufacturers, investors, and South Korea’s economy, with attention on the Pyeongtaek complex and supply reliability.
