SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Unionized workers at Samsung Electronics declared an indefinite strike Wednesday to pressure South Korea’s biggest company to accept their calls for higher pays and other benefits.
Thousands of members of the National Samsung Electronics Union launched a temporary, three-day strike on Monday. But the union said Wednesday that it was announcing an indefinite strike, accusing the management of being unwilling to negotiate. Samsung Electronics says there have been no disruptions to production.
Samsung Electronics will ensure no disruptions occur in the production lines,” a Samsung statement said. “The company remains committed to engaging in good faith negotiations with the union.”
However, in a statement posted on its website, the union said it has engaged in unspecified disruptions on the company’s production lines to get management to eventually come to the negotiating table if the strikes continue.
“We are confident of our victory,” the union statement said.
I really like Samsung’s phones and software, but I think my next phone will be a Sony.
It’s Android. It’s not Google or Chinese. It’s got a headphone jack.
The 4K screen feels overkill though.
Which model, out of interest? Do they let users to decline updates?
The 4K screen is specific to the Xperia 1 V. Though it seems the 1 VI has dropped it for 1080.
The Xperia 10 VI is a more budget version, still with a headphone jack.
I wouldn’t know about the ability to decline updates.
(The 1 is their premium model, the 10 budget. The Roman numerals are the generation.)
Thanks. I need to have a look around but I am definitely not buying any phone where the updates are forced on me.
