On Thursday, a massive gathering of tens of thousands of Samsung Electronics employees took place at the company's Pyeongtaek campus in South Korea. These employees signaled their determination to embark on an 18-day strike next month. The heart of the labor dispute lies in the allocation of salaries, with the labor union staunchly demanding the removal of the existing ceiling on performance bonuses. Additionally, they are advocating for the distribution of 15% of the company's operating profits among the workforce. To date, Samsung has refrained from acceding to these demands, and the negotiations between the two parties have hit a stalemate. Amidst the ongoing negotiations, Samsung is also taking legal measures to address the union's actions. The looming strike threatens to further strain the already tight global supply of memory chips.
