SEOUL :Samsung Electronics' biggest workers' union in South Korea said on Tuesday it would begin a four-day strike from Thursday to pressure the company over higher wages and bonuses after talks with management fell through in July. He said the union, whose 36,500 members make up about 30 per cent of Samsung Electronics' South Korean workforce, expects the company would not have enough backup office workers to support production lines during the planned strike, as many workers would be away for a national holiday on Thursday.
The union had declared an indefinite strike in July, but asked members to return to work in early August after a series of talks with management fell apart.
