Samsung Electronics, the South Korean memory chip giant, experiences a three-day strike led by the National Samsung Electronics Union (NSEU) due to failed labor negotiations. Despite the strike involving 6,540 union members, particularly in semiconductor equipment, manufacturing, and R&D, Samsung states that its production remains unaffected. The strike aims to pressure management for pay raises, bonuses, benefits, and better working conditions. Although experts note limited impact on Samsung's operations, it reflects challenges in the tech industry amidst increasing automation. NSEU plans further strikes if demands are not met. The previous strike in June did not affect Samsung's operations, highlighting the ongoing labor-management tensions.
