[Financial News] Samsung Electronics and its labor union are believed to have reached a tentative agreement just over an hour before the planned general strike. The union will temporarily postpone the strike it had announced for the 21st and begin a vote among members.
The Samsung Electronics Joint Struggle Headquarters of Labor Unions announced in a struggle directive for members on the 20th, "The general strike scheduled from May 21 to June 7 will be postponed until further notice."
It also notified members that "all union members will participate in a vote on the tentative 2026 wage agreement from 2 p.m. on the 22nd to 10 a.m. on the 27th."
Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics and its labor union, which had broken up earlier in the day after the second post-mediation session yielded no progress on the eve of the planned strike, resumed negotiations dramatically at 4 p.m. that afternoon. Following Park Soo-geun, chair of the National Labor Relations Commission, Kim Young-hoon, Minister of Employment and Labor, personally joined the talks.
