StrikeRadarOPERATIONS-CRITICAL STRIKE INTELLIGENCEUnions in South Korea say 40,000 at Samsung Electronics will walk out, seeking a 15% profit bonus as talks resume Wednesday
Samsung Electronics workers in South Korea plan an 18-day strike starting Wednesday over pay and bonuses, with unions saying 40,000 employees will walk out. They demand the company allocate 15% of profits to an employee bonus scheme and write the change into contracts. The workforce produces around 40% of the high‑bandwidth chips used in artificial‑intelligence systems, according to union statements. Union membership has grown rapidly, with one union expanding from 6,000 members last September to 75,000, and combined membership with the National Samsung Electronics Union reaching 90,000.
In the United States, the Long Island Rail Road strike ended Monday night after the MTA reached a tentative deal with five unions representing about 3,500 workers, with phased service resuming Tuesday at noon. New York officials said the agreement would not require additional fare or tax increases, and trains returned after the first LIRR strike in more than three decades. In Canada, Unifor Locals 111 and 2200, representing 5,000 transit workers in Metro Vancouver, are seeking a strike mandate after talks with Coast Mountain Bus Company broke off, while Montreal’s Sex Work Autonomous Committee is planning a strike during the city’s F1 weekend.
Across regions, unions are pressing compensation and safety issues while public agencies emphasize fare and tax stability in settlements.
