Samsung appliance workers to stage a rally protesting chip workers' wage deal

Samsung's non-chip division workers are set to rally on July 16, protesting the significant bonus disparity with their semiconductor colleagues. While chip workers secured up to 600 million won, others anticipate a mere 6 million won in treasury shares for 2026. This comes as Samsung anticipates a massive surge in its second-quarter operating profit, highlighting the stark contrast in rewards across its divisions.
