Samsung's strike-averting wage deal passes union vote
Samsung Electronics’ tentative 2026 wage and bonus agreement passed a union vote Wednesday, a week after labor and management reached a last-minute deal that narrowly averted a planned strike.
The agreement won support from 73.7 percent of the 62,616 union members who cast ballots, according to the unions.
Turnout reached 95.5 percent of the 65,593 eligible voters.
Samsung Electronics and its unions reached the tentative agreement on May 20, just before a planned walkout was set to begin.
