Samsung Workers Extend Strike Indefinitely Over Pay Disputes

The union representing nearly a quarter of Samsung's South Korean workforce demands better wages and benefits, citing management's refusal to negotiate.

The National Samsung Electronics Union (NSEU) represents about 30,000 workers in South Korea.
Initially planned as a three-day strike, the labor action has now been extended indefinitely.
Union demands include a 3.5% pay increase, better bonus structures, and an additional day off.
Samsung claims there have been no production disruptions, while the union disputes this.
The strike comes as Samsung reports a significant profit increase driven by AI-related demand.
