Samsung workers demand better pay, began 3-day strike
Workers union at Samsung Electronics kicked off a 3-day strike, demanding better pay. The company’s around 24% workers are supporting the strike directed by the union. Approx 30,000 employees are on strike from Samsung’s entire workforce.
It’s not the first time controversy created between Samsung and the workers union. The company was in discussion with its leaders for a long but negotiations failed. It results in employees going on strike to get their demands fulfilled and also includes additional leave.
It is reported that workers gathered en masse near Samsung’s HQ in Hwaseong, south of Seoul. It is said that 6,540 workers are striking this week, mostly at manufacturing sites and in product development. There is also a complaint that the bonus system is unfair and needs a revisit.
“Education about labour unions for union members and employees has not been enough. But I don’t think this participation is low because our union is still young compared to other unions,” Union president Son Woo-mok said.
The National Samsung Electronics Labor Union (NSU) is the largest labor union at Samsung. This is the first time that the company’s union has gone on a general strike since its foundation in 1967.
