Minority union at Samsung Electronics to challenge pay deal in court

TL;DR

SEOUL, May 29 (Reuters) - A minority labour union at Samsung Electronics representing its consumer electronics workers will ask a South Korean court to suspend the implementation of a pay deal that primarily benefits employees in the chip division, a lawyer said. Two other unions at the world's largest memory chip and TV maker, including its biggest union, voted to approve a pay deal this week that provides huge bonuses for workers in Samsung's memory chip division, which has seen profits soar amid the AI boom. The Samsung Electronics Co Union (SECU), which has about 13,000 members, mostly from the company's smartphone, TV and home appliances divisions, had initially filed an injunction to suspend the vote.
