The tech giant Samsung Electronics has filed a legal petition with a South Korean court seeking to prevent its workers’ unions from moving forward with planned strike action, according to a Thursday report from MoneyToday.
Last month, union members at the company cast ballots approving potential strike action and issued warnings of an 18-day work stoppage beginning May 21 if management and union representatives cannot reach an agreement on wage increases.
The labor organizations are also preparing for a large-scale demonstration scheduled for April 23.
Company representatives from Samsung were not available to provide statements when contacted for comment.
