Samsung Non-Chip Union Files Injunction to Halt Bonus Vote

A union representing workers in Samsung Electronics' non-semiconductor divisions has filed an injunction with a South Korean court to stop an ongoing vote by workers in its semiconductor division on a bonus increase, according to Newsis. The union comprises about 13,000 workers from smartphones, TV, and home appliances divisions.

Union's Rationale

The non-chip union took action after being told it had no right to join the vote by unionized workers in the semiconductor division. Around 57,000 workers at Samsung began voting on a pay deal that would ensure large bonuses for memory chip workers to avert a planned 18-day strike.
