Adding to pressure on the union, a South Korean court partially granted Samsung’s request for an injunction, ordering the union to ensure any strike did not disrupt production.

The ruling means that a strike must not lead to the degradation of materials used in production, while operations related to safety and avoiding product damage must be maintained at normal levels, a court spokesperson said by telephone.

So… they can stop producing chips?

degradation of materials used in production

If materials can oxidize or otherwise expire, they'd have to use up those materials, which means that whole part of the line keeps running.

Yeah, I'll use them to prop up this table... Oh some of them can be used to make shadow puppets... Maybe some can be used to ensure proper efficiency of the garbage trucks...
