Samsung Workers Go On Strike
South Korean Workers at Samsung begin a 3 day strike for better pay and benefits, the head of a union representing tens of thousands of employees told AFP, warning that the action could affect memory chip production. Samsung Electronics, the world’s largest memory chip maker, contributes significantly to the global high-end chip output.
Thousands of workers, dressed in rain jackets and wearing ribbons that read “fight with solidarity,” gathered outside Samsung’s foundry and semiconductor factory in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi, an hour south of Seoul. Samsung management has been negotiating with the union since January, but they have been unable to agree on benefits and a 5.1% pay raise, which the union rejected.
The union head Son Woo-mok announcing it as just the beginning. Around 5,200 workers from various sectors joined the protest, with instructions to avoid work and business calls until July 10th. The union, which represents over a fifth of Samsung’s workforce, declared the three-day strike after failed negotiations, following a previous one-day walkout in June. Workers rejected a 5.1% pay hike and demand better annual leave and transparent bonuses. Samsung, which has a long history of anti-union practices, declined to comment. The strike includes key chip assembly line workers, potentially posing significant risks to Samsung’s market position.
Health unions declare a strike, and it is stated to begin on the 15th of November, 2025.
The health unions starting this strike are under the aegis of the Joint Health Sector Unions, JOHESU, and the Assembly of Healthcare Professional Associations, AHPA.
The reason for the strike is the health salary structure and as the poor working conditions and welfare.
China speaks on the latest issue between Nigeria and the United States. After Donald Trump declared plans to take action against what he called the “Christian genocide” in Nigeria, many have reacted and shared their opinions.
China expressed disagreement with Trump’s statement, saying that religion is not a strong reason to interfere in another country’s internal affairs.
The spokesperson representing China stated that the country “firmly opposes any nation using religion or human rights as an excuse to interfere in other countries’ internal affairs or threaten them with sanctions or force.”
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, spoke on Donald Trump’s threat to Nigeria regarding taking care of the Christian genocide.
The minister appeared as a guest on a TV program and spoke on the current situation, stating that politics has been taken too far.
The minister questioned the claims made, saying “It is an indictment that a government I am serving, anybody will allege that that government is supporting genocide, killing of Christians and I am still in that government.
This is politics taken too far. The Inspector General of Police is a Christian, the Director General of the Department of State Services is a Christian, the Chief of Defence (Staff) is a Christian.
Tell me how any right-thinking person will think that we will sit in a government and support the killing of our own people?”
