Samsung strike on hold as workers push for AI bonus

The largest union representing nearly 48,000 Samsung Electronics workers suspended a planned strike after reaching a tentative pay agreement, addressing concerns over unequal bonus distribution between memory chip staff (slated for large payouts amid booming AI-driven demand) and workers in other divisions. Union members will vote on the deal from May 22-27, and Samsung’s shares rose over 8% following the announcement, temporarily easing fears of production disruptions at the world’s largest memory chipmaker.
