Samsung Electronics Labor Talks Resume Ahead of Planned Mass Strike

Samsung Electronics and its labor union are set to return to the negotiating table under government mediation ahead of an unprecedented large-scale general strike planned for the 21st. The talks are expected to be effectively the last round of negotiations before the strike. According to the original report, the labor dispute has moved into post-mediation amid worsening public sentiment and concerns over the planned mass walkout. Both sides will discuss key issues again with government involvement. With worries raised over potential losses reaching tens of trillions of won, the outcome may become a turning point for whether the strike proceeds and for future labor relations. Source: mk.co.kr.
