Samsung Electronics and striking union to resume talks on Friday

SEOUL: Samsung Electronics and representatives of its biggest workers’ union in South Korea that has been on a strike since early last week have agreed to resume negotiations on Friday, the two sides said.

They plan to meet on Friday to set a firm negotiation schedule, Son Woo-mok, president of the National Samsung Electronics Union whose roughly 30,000 members make up almost a quarter of the company’s South Korean workforce, told a YouTube live broadcast.
