Samsung Electronics’ board chairman urges union to resolve pay disputes
SEOUL: The board chairman of Samsung Electronics has urged unionised workers to resolve pay disputes with management, warning that a planned strike could hurt investors and employees and have “serious consequences” for the Korean economy.
In an internal memo to employees on Tuesday, Shin Je-yoon said he was “worried about losing market leadership amid fleeing customers and falling competitiveness” if strikes disrupted deliveries and production, according to a Samsung statement.
