Samsung Warns Striking Indian Workers of 'No Work, No Pay' and Possible Termination

Workers at Samsung's Chennai plant demand higher wages and union recognition, disrupting operations and escalating tensions.

Hundreds of Samsung workers have been protesting since September 9, disrupting operations at the home appliances factory near Chennai.
The workers are demanding a wage increase from 25,000 rupees ($300) to 36,000 rupees ($430) over three years and the recognition of their union.
Samsung has warned that striking workers will not be paid and face potential termination if they do not return to work within four days.
The company has sued the protesting union, seeking an injunction to restrain demonstrations, but the court has called for a swift resolution instead.
The strike poses a challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Make in India' initiative aimed at boosting foreign investment and electronics production.
