Samsung consumer electronics union asks court to block vote on pay deal
SEOUL: A Samsung Electronics union representing the conglomerate’s consumer electronics workers said on Tuesday it has asked a South Korean court to block a vote on a pay deal that primarily benefits their colleagues in the company’s chip divisions.
The government-mediated agreement reached last week, which averted an 18-day strike by 48,000 workers, provides huge bonuses for workers in Samsung’s memory chip division, which has seen profits soar amid the AI boom.
