In a historic move, Samsung Electronics is bracing for its first-ever worker strike after a union representing tens of thousands of employees announced a one-day walkout on June 7. The strike could ripple through global tech supply chains, threatening the production of semiconductors vital to everything from smartphones to AI.
The union, which covers around 20% of Samsung’s workforce, plans to use annual leave for the action—keeping the door open for a larger strike later. “This is a wake-up call for the industry,” said a union spokesperson, hinting at unresolved labor disputes.
Tech enthusiasts and investors are on high alert: Samsung’s chips power nearly a third of the world’s devices. Could your next gadget face delays? Stay tuned as tensions rise in this high-stakes tech showdown.
