The labor union of Samsung employees in South Korea has declared a gathering for a work stoppage from July 8th to 10th, demanding a more transparent bonus and leave system, as well as urging the company to treat labor as equal partners.
Samsung has not commented on the matter, while analysts believe that Samsung’s production lines, especially the chip production line, may not be significantly impacted as it is mostly automated. However, some suggest that a prolonged work stoppage could affect the production line that still requires skilled labor and cannot be easily replaced.
