Samsung Electronics Mediation Starts May 11 as Union Rift Emerges

Samsung Electronics’ labor-management post-mediation process will take place for two days from May 11 under the National Labor Relations Commission. Ahead of the final government-mediated negotiations, deepening conflict among unions, including around the Samsung Electronics branch of the supra-enterprise labor union that was delegated bargaining rights, has emerged as a new variable. The process is drawing attention because it could affect the direction of labor-management talks at Samsung Electronics. The original report did not provide specific issues, settlement odds or additional figures. The key question is how the escalating union-to-union conflict will affect mediation. Source: mk.co.kr
