Unionized workers at Samsung Electronics have declared an indefinite strike to pressure South Korea’s biggest company to accept their calls for higher pays and other benefits.
South Korean strikes are handled differently from company to company. Hyundai is more traditional, outward striking, but Samsung employees have strategies of taking mass PTO around holidays to obscure who is striking and who is actually taking holiday leave. Samsung absolutely has a 0% tolerance for Unions and striking, but there do exist labor efforts among Samsung workers.
