Indian Police Detain Over 100 Samsung Workers Amid Strike Over Low Wages

The workers, protesting for higher wages and union recognition, were detained for planning an unauthorized march in Chennai.

Police in Tamil Nadu detained around 100 Samsung workers and union leaders for planning a protest march without permission.
The strike, ongoing for a week, has disrupted production at the Samsung Electronics plant in Chennai, which contributes a third of Samsung's annual revenue in India.
Workers are demanding higher wages, better working hours, and recognition of their union backed by the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU).
Samsung has resisted recognizing the CITU-backed union, and talks with workers and state officials have not resolved the dispute.
The detentions have raised concerns about the impact on India's 'Make in India' initiative aimed at attracting foreign manufacturers.
