Samsung Electronics’ main South Korea union to strike over pay from August 15

Samsung Electronics’ biggest workers’ union in South Korea said on Tuesday it would begin a four-day strike from Thursday to pressure the company over higher wages and bonuses after talks with management fell through in July.

Lee Hyun-kuk, vice president of the National Samsung Electronics Union (NSEU), said in a live YouTube broadcast: “This strike is strategically designed to damage the company.”
