Thousands of Samsung Workers Stage Protest for Fair Compensation as Union's Three-Day Strike at Samsung Aims to Disrupt Production

More than 6,500 Samsung Electronics Co. workers began a rally on Monday, demanding better pay in the largest organized labor action in the company's history. The protest, held outside Samsung’s chipmaking complex south of Seoul, follows collapsed negotiations over pay and vacation time. The union hopes the three-day walkout will disrupt production and highlight their grievances. The timing is critical as Samsung faces semiconductor supply chain challenges and is preparing to unveil new products. Despite efforts to appease workers with performance bonuses, tensions remain high over bonus calculations and compensation.
