Samsung Electronics union calls off strike, puts wage deal to vote
Samsung Electronics labor unions on Wednesday called off a planned strike just over an hour before it was set to begin, paving the way for a membership vote on a tentative wage agreement with management.
The joint strike committee representing the unions said the planned walkout from Thursday through June 7 would be suspended “until further notice.” Union members will vote on the proposed 2026 wage deal from 9 a.m. Saturday through 10 p.m. May 28.
