三星生物製劑工會於10月2日透過其鬥爭指導方針宣布,將於10月26日開始為期三週的第二次總罷工。此前,三星生物製劑的勞資雙方即使在仁川地方勞動關係委員會主持的第三次調解後,仍未能就工資和集體談判協議達成協議。這是因為勞資雙方在薪資成長等問題上無法縮小分歧。
在第三次調解後,管理階層維持原有的6.2%的基本工資成長幅度。此外,管理階層也提出了一個方案,以支持員工持股增資的收益。管理層解釋,考慮到這項額外提議,每位員工平均將獲得超過500萬韓元(約台幣12萬元)的經濟利益。

管理階層明確表示,無法接受工會提出的加薪幅度。此前,工會曾要求基本薪資成長9.5%,額外支付300萬韓元(台幣7萬元),設立激勵獎金和績效獎金,並參與人事制度。然而,公司管理層表示,將保持對話管道暢通,以便就此次工資和集體談判協議達成一項具有前瞻性的協議。
