Samsung staff outside chip unit plan July 16 protest over bonus gaps
Employees at Samsung Electronics working in the smartphone, home appliance, and TV sectors are set to stage a protest on July 16. They are voicing their frustration regarding the larger bonuses given to those in the semiconductor department. This move comes after a new salary agreement was reached for the chip division. While workers in the chip unit may receive as much as 600 million won, those in other divisions are slated to get 6 million won in treasury shares for 2026.
