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.

El-Rufai Says Tinubu Didn’t Like Him and He Was Closer to Buhari

Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has revealed that President Bola Tinubu never liked him, even when they were both part of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). El-Rufai made the comment during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ on Monday.
He described himself as a loyal supporter of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their time in the party and mentioned that he was much closer to APC chieftain and former Osun State Governor, Bisi Akande. “Tinubu never really liked me. We didn’t have that relationship. In the APC, I was seen as Buhari’s boy,” El-Rufai said. “The person I worked closely with was Baba Akande.”
Speaking further, El-Rufai expressed doubts about the possibility of a new coalition political party emerging under the current leadership of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), led by Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu. He compared the current INEC boss to his predecessor, Prof. Attahiru Jega, who oversaw the registration of the APC during his tenure, hinting that the political environment now is less open to such developments.

Tension Eases as Trump Declares “Complete and Total” Israel-Iran Ceasefire

After nearly two weeks of rising clashes between Israel and Iran, former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced what he called a “complete and total” ceasefire between both countries. He made the declaration on Monday evening, saying the agreement would officially take effect within 24 hours. This announcement follows a chaotic period that saw the U.S. launching heavy airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, while Iran fired missiles at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, a location used by U.S. forces.
While Trump shows his confidence in the ceasefire deal, things on the ground suggest otherwise. Iranian officials quickly denied agreeing to any formal truce. Their foreign ministry did hint, however, that they might reduce military action; but only if Israel also holds back.
Israel, on the other hand, claimed they picked up fresh missile launches from Iranian territory shortly after the ceasefire was announced. In response, Israel reportedly prepared new airstrikes, though Iran denied any fresh attacks from their side.
International observers say the situation remains very fragile. There’s still no clear written agreement detailing how both sides will back down, especially concerning Iran’s nuclear activities, which was the cause of the dispute.
The news of the ceasefire brought quick reactions from the global economy. Oil prices dropped sharply, sliding more than 3% as traders relaxed over possible disruptions in the Middle East, especially around the vital Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil supplies. Stock markets also rallied. U.S. futures climbed nearly 1%, while Gulf country’s financial markets bounced back by up to 3%. European and Asian stocks posted gains as well, as investors bet on lower risks in the region. Meanwhile, gold prices and U.S. treasury yields dropped, and the dollar weakened, signaling that traders are betting central banks
