Samsung Electronics' largest union, representing approximately 28,400 workers in South Korea, went on strike for the first time in the company's 55-year history. The one-day walkout, held on Friday, was driven by demands for better pay, improved bonuses, and increased annual leave. Despite the labor action, analysts do not expect it to affect chip production. The company had previously decided to increase wages by 5.1% this year, but the National Samsung Electronics Union found this insufficient. The strike highlights ongoing tensions between Samsung's management and its workforce.
