Samsung reached a tentative deal with semiconductor employees to provide significant annual bonuses, successfully preventing a planned strike.Summary
Samsung has reached a tentative agreement with its semiconductor division employees following threats of an 18-day strike. The deal includes a 50 percent base salary cash bonus and a stock-based bonus derived from 10.5 percent of the company’s operating profits. This agreement aims to remain competitive with the bonus structures at SK Hynix, which have become a benchmark due to the ongoing AI-driven demand for memory chips. While the payouts are conditional on profit milestones, the agreement is expected to be approved by union members, helping Samsung stabilize its workforce during a period of record growth.
