PYEONGTAEK, South Korea: Tens of thousands of Samsung Electronics workers rallied at a sprawling factory complex south of Seoul on Thursday (Apr 23), venting their anger over compensation levels ahead of a planned lengthy strike that could disrupt AI chip production. Union organisers put the number of protesters at 40,000 , making the demonstration the largest to date for Samsung, which has long been known for its union-busting tactics but saw workers walk out for the ⁠first time in 2024.
