Samsung Electronics factory workers reject settlement deal; union leaders, protestors detained

Samsung Electronics’ Sriperumbudur factory workers rejected a settlement deal from the company over wage hikes, as the deal does not recognise their union, reported the news agency Reuters reported on Wednesday, October 9, citing A. Soundararajan, state president of the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU).

“We will continue striking. We will intensify our protest to put pressure on the government,” Soundararajan told the news agency.
