Turnout topped 74% this morning, strengthening the likelihood the deal will pass, though uncertainties remain. Reporter Ha-rim Koo has the story. [Reporter] The Samsung Electronics union began the yes-or-no vote yesterday (22). On the second day (23), turnout exceeded 70%. The cross-company union\u2019s Samsung Electronics branch reported turnout of 74.27% as of 10:40 a.m. More than 40,000 union members have voted so far. Because most eligible voters are members of the Device Solutions (DS) semiconductor division, analysts largely expect the measure to pass. However, non\u2011semiconductor divisions have criticized the agreement as rushed, and intra\u2011union tensions \u2014 including so-called labor\u2011on\u2011labor conflict \u2014 are likely to persist. Voting continues until 10 a.m. on the 27th. Choi Seung-ho, chair of the cross-company union, said he would seek a vote of confidence if the measure is rejected. If the tentative agreement wins final approval, employees in Samsung Electronics\u2019 memory division could receive bonuses of up to KRW 600 million (about $450,000) per person. Calls to tie bonus payouts to operating profit are spreading across the industry. The Federation of Korean Trade Unions (FKTU) and the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) have urged a fair distribution of bonuses and said Samsung should share gains with subcontractors and partner firms. Bonus demands are already spreading to other companies, including Hyundai Motor, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, Kakao and LG Uplus. Public debate over fairness and the appropriateness of Samsung\u2019s bonus settlement is likely to continue for some time. This is Ha-rim Koo of Yonhap News TV.
