Samsung Electronics workers in South Korea have extended an ongoing strike “indefinitely,” according to a statement from the labor union published Wednesday.
The National Samsung Electronics Union (NSEU), which represents some 30,000 members, launched a three-day work stoppage on Monday after the two parties could not agree on wage increases, bonuses, and vacations after several rounds of negotiations, CNBC reported. The groupâs specific demands include a 3.5% pay increase and improved transparency in pay.
‘Donât Get Tired’
The unionâs statement, written in Korean, had a clear message for its members according to a translation: âDonât get tired.â The strike is the first in Samsungâs 55-year history, CNBC reported.
The NSEU has said the strike has disrupted chip production, a fact Samsungâs management disputes. The worldâs top smartphone provider told local media that no disruptions occurred during the first two days of the strike and added Wednesday that it would âensure no disruptions occur in the production linesâ as the strike continues, CNBC reported.
