Fun fact: tomorrow is the strike deadline — 48,000 Samsung Electronics employees will stop working and take to the streets.
Current union demands:
- Abolish the cap that limits bonuses to 50% of annual salary
- Distribute 15% of the company’s annual profit to all employees as bonuses
- Require management to include the bonus plan in employment contracts
Samsung’s counterproposal:
- A one-time bonus of $340,000 per person
- But the bonus cap stays unchanged
