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.
The NSEU’s chief, Son Woo-mok, advised the workers that the walkout “will not change all at once, but let’s change it one by one.”

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.
