The union says it will form dedicated negotiating teams for each business unit to better reflect members\u2019 demands, given the clear differences in issues and performance between the divisions. <\/p>\n<p> On the 28th, the Samsung Electronics branch of the cross-company union said Chair Choi Seung-ho notified members with a statement titled \u201cGuidance on Future Negotiations and Union Operations\u201d outlining the reforms. The core change is a divided negotiation executive: the union plans to operate separate teams \u2014 five members for DS and three for DX. <\/p>\n<p> The DS executive team will concentrate on assessing the business condition of underperforming units such as System LSI and the foundry operations. It will push the company to present a clear roadmap for returning those units to profitability. The team also plans to meet directly with members of the CSS business team, who handle power semiconductors and said they were sidelined during the 2026 talks, to review the business\u2019 future and negotiate improvements to their treatment. <\/p>\n<p> For DX, the union will appoint two additional dedicated executives to create a separate structure focused on shop-floor demands. The union said it will allow participation from other unions in DX negotiations to gather a broader range of frontline views on improving working conditions. <\/p>\n<p> The cross-company union also unveiled leadership reforms tied to the recently approved 2026 wage agreement. Although the tentative deal passed with an 80% approval rate, the union acknowledged lingering disappointment among members and said it will address those concerns. <\/p>\n<p> In particular, Chair Choi issued an official apology for inappropriate and reckless remarks he made during negotiations \u2014 comments such as \u201cI\u2019ll help you move to foundries\u201d and \u201cI can\u2019t handle DX.\u201d To obtain an objective assessment, the union will hold a vote of confidence for the chair on the 17th of next month. <\/p>\n<p> Choi said, \u201cI will humbly accept the members\u2019 decision,\u201d and added, \u201cGoing forward, the cross-company union will reorganize around two pillars \u2014 preparing for the 2027 wage and collective bargaining process and operating the separated DS\/DX structure \u2014 and we will do our utmost to secure satisfactory results in the next negotiations.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung&#8217;s union
