Warum es wichtig ist
Samsung Electronics and its largest labor union are engaged in wage mediation talks led by the National Labor Relations Commission. The negotiations have been ongoing due to differences over performance-based bonuses tied to the company's AI semiconductor business.
SEOUL, May 20 (Yonhap) -- Samsung Electronics Co. and its largest labor union will resume government-led wage mediation talks on Wednesday morning, a state labor dispute resolution body said, after they failed to bridge differences during two days of marathon negotiations this week.
The National Labor Relations Commission said the second round of mediation talks were adjourned at 12:30 a.m., and that the third round would begin at 10 a.m.
Labor and management remained sharply split over performance-based bonuses tied to earnings from the tech giant's artificial intelligence (AI)-related semiconductor business, amid an ongoing global memory supercycle.
