With the Samsung union signaling a potential company-wide strike, the board chair posted his message directly on the company\u2019s internal bulletin board.<\/p>\n<p>On the 6th, business sources said Shin wrote on the internal board the day before that recent developments have raised concerns among shareholders, customers and many citizens. He said he feels a heavy responsibility as board chair and apologized for the worry caused.<\/p>\n<p>Shin warned that if the labor dispute escalates into a strike, both the company and the union would suffer. In the worst case, both sides could lose their footing: business competitiveness would decline, customer trust would erode, and shareholders and investors could face losses with serious repercussions for the national economy.<\/p>\n<p>He highlighted the nature of the semiconductor industry. &#8220;Semiconductors are a national foundational industry in which timing and customer trust are critical,&#8221; Shin said. &#8220;If development or production schedules slip or deliveries are missed, customers may turn to competitors, which would weaken our market position.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The dispute centers on proposed changes to the performance bonus system. The union is demanding that management remove the cap on excess-profit incentives (OPI) and revise the calculation method; it has warned it may call a general strike if its demands are not met.<\/p>\n<p>Shin said the economic fallout could be substantial if a strike occurs. He warned that massive strike-related losses and customer defections would erode the company&#8217;s value and inflict serious harm on shareholders, investors, employees and local communities. That could also weigh on the national economy through lower exports, reduced tax revenue and a decline in GDP.<\/p>\n<p>He urged both sides to step back and engage in dialogue. &#8220;Now is the time for all employees to come together to secure sustainable growth amid relentless competition,&#8221; he said, adding that the issue should be resolved through sincere talks.<\/p>\n<p>He called on both sides to work so the current conflict can lay the groundwork for a more constructive labor-management relationship, and pledged, &#8220;I will work closely with management, pool our collective judgment and do my utmost to resolve this issue.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung Electronics Chairman Shin Jae-yoon urges employees to resolve issues through
