Negotiations between the National Samsung Electronics Union, which represents workers in the company’s chipmaking division, and management have seemingly broken down over a single issue. According to the Financial Times, the two sides are close to agreeing on an allocation of 13% of operating profit, which works out to be roughly $340,000 USD per employee, as a bonus to the workers. However, company management is only willing to give this as a one-time offer, while the union wants the allocation to be guaranteed annually and included in the agreement that the two sides will sign.

That "over a single issue" made it sound like some minor disagreement hah

i would be very much ok with silicon shortages due to labor movements for a change.

fuck samsung btw.

A strike would be fascinating. You can't just stop a chip fab. There could be huge batch losses.
