Samsung Electronics and its union failed to reach an agreement during the Central Labor Commission’s second post-mediation session on the 19th and agreed to resume mediation on the 20th. That leaves both sides at the negotiating table through the eve of a planned general strike.<\/p>\n

At about 12:55 a.m. on the 20th, Choi Seung-ho said, “We will resume post-mediation at 10 a.m. tomorrow,” adding that the union would remain at the Central Labor Commission to participate in the session.<\/p>\n

The Central Labor Commission’s second post-mediation session, which began at 10 a.m. the previous day, lasted roughly 15 hours and concluded at about 12:55 a.m.<\/p>\n

The session stretched across the 18th and 19th, spanning nearly 24 hours. Combined with the first post-mediation on the 11th and 12th, which ran about 28 hours, the two sides have now negotiated for roughly 52 hours in total.<\/p>\n

Negotiating up to the eve of the union’s announced strike date, the parties have effectively entered a final bargaining phase. The outcome of this session is likely to determine whether the planned general strike proceeds.<\/p>\n
