Yonhap news agency reports that a clad wearing headband with ‘general strike’ printed on them, the unionised workers pledged for a “victory” in their strike.

Talks between the union and Samsung Electronics are scheduled for Tuesday. This will be the first in-person meeting since the union announced a strike on July 8.

The NSEU has called for a day off on the union’s founding day, a 5.6 percent basic salary increase for all members, and reimbursement for any financial losses incurred as a result of the walkout.

Despite the walkout, Samsung Electronics claims that the impact of Samsung Labour Union Protest on production has been negligible.
