Samsung Union Workers in South Korea Approve Wage Deal

Samsung Electronics' unionised workers in South Korea have voted to approve a tentative wage deal, averting a strike that could have disrupted global chip supplies and damaged the South Korean economy.

The union announced that nearly 74% of the 62,616 workers who cast ballots supported the deal. With the approval, Samsung's production activities are expected to continue without interruption.

This development brings significant relief amid the global chip shortage. As the world's largest memory chip maker, Samsung's wage deal is expected to stabilise the supply chain.
