Samsung Labor Talks Fail in Post-Mediation as 18-Day Strike Nears on 21st

Samsung Electronics labor and management failed to find common ground even through post-mediation by the National Labor Relations Commission, putting an 18-day general strike scheduled for the 21st at risk of becoming reality. The process was a last chance for both sides to seek a settlement before the strike, but no final agreement was reached. Industry and academic circles are watching the possible effects if the strike takes place. The key remaining question is whether the two sides can resume talks and prepare an agreement before the 21st. Source: mk.co.kr
