Workers in Samsung Electronics' smartphone, television, and home appliance divisions are organizing a rally on July 16 to protest the compensation package negotiated by the company's chip workers.
The union representing these divisions highlighted the disparity in bonuses, signaling growing internal friction within the tech giant's workforce.
Samsung has attempted to mitigate the fallout from the labor dispute by preparing a share repurchase program valued at 90 trillion won ($58.
The protest comes as Samsung Electronics faces significant operational disruption from a separate strike involving over 47,000 workers that began on Thursday.
That walkout followed the collapse of wage negotiations between the company and its union, leading to a 3% drop in shares as investors weighed the potential impact on production and supply chains.
Samsung has attempted to mitigate the fallout from the labor dispute by preparing a share repurchase program valued at 90 trillion won ($58.6 billion).
The buyback is part of a broader strategy to resolve the protracted conflict with its union, but the new rally suggests that dissatisfaction extends beyond the striking workforce to other key divisions.
