Unionized workers of Samsung Electronics Co. are determined to stage a walkout on Friday over demands for better pay and benefits, Yonhap reported, citing a union official.
Some 28,000 members of the National Samsung Electronics Union (NSEU) will be partaking in the one-day walkout, although the final number has not been confirmed by the union, as it considers that the decision should be made voluntarily.
"Coordinated use of vacation is our first step in moving toward our final goal of a large-scale strike," Lee Hyun-guk, deputy chief of the NSEU, was quoted as having said.
