Samsung Electronics Strike Fears Grow as Calls Rise for Government Intervention

Concerns are growing over the possible national economic impact of a strike by the Samsung Electronics labor union. The original report says the priority now is to create a justification and exit path that would allow the union to step back on its own. It argues that if efforts among labor, management and government still cannot prevent a strike, direct government intervention should also be considered. The concern is that a Samsung Electronics strike could go beyond an internal corporate dispute and affect the broader national economy. Whether labor, management and government can coordinate a solution is expected to be the key factor in avoiding a strike and easing tensions. Source: mk.co.kr.
