[The Public\u2014Reporter Doo-hee Jo] Samsung Electronics and its union formally resolved a labor dispute that had raised industrywide concern over the company\u2019s first-ever threatened general strike by signing a wage agreement on May 27.<\/p>\n

Samsung Electronics and the union\u2019s joint bargaining committee reached a tentative 2026 wage agreement late on May 20, the night before the planned strike. Union members then voted between 2 p.m. on May 22 and 10 a.m. on May 27; turnout was 95.5%, and 73.7% voted in favor, approving the deal.<\/p>\n

Samsung Electronics Executive Vice President Yeo Myeong-gu said, \u201cThis wage agreement marks the start of labor and management coming together to strengthen our global competitiveness. I thank the union and all employees for negotiating with sincerity and for keeping channels of dialogue open until the end.\u201d<\/p>\n

Choi Seung-ho, chair of the Trans-Enterprise Union\u2019s Samsung Electronics branch, said, \u201cThere were regrettable elements, but I believe we reached a meaningful agreement. We will continue to work to improve Samsung Electronics employees\u2019 working conditions and to protect their rights.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
