Samsung willing to settle wages with workers, rejects talks with 3rd party

Samsung India is willing to sign a long-term wage settlement and negotiate directly with its workers for an amicable resolution of the dispute, the company’s lawyer said on Friday, terming the ongoing employees’ strike at the Sriperumbudur plant “illegal”.

Lawyer Anand Gopalan, who is representing Samsung India in the High Court of Madras and the Kanchipuram District Court, said the company would only negotiate with its workers and not with any third-party leaders.
