The leader of South Korea's largest labor union at Samsung Electronics revealed to the media that union members are voting on a strike plan for May, threatening to disrupt chip production. As the world's largest manufacturer of memory chips, a strike at Samsung could exacerbate the global semiconductor supply crunch. Currently, strong demand from the artificial intelligence data center business has already constrained chip supplies to industries such as automotive, computers, and smartphones. Choi Seung-ho, the leader of Samsung Electronics' labor union, said at the launch of the vote last week: 'I expect production to be disrupted.'
