The title of this post seems to communicate that goal, even if it's not the intent. It is worth noting that the article itself seems to read more as if Samsung is going through bad management decisions amid market turmoil. The current market demand on Samsung has some sectors performing with insane profits, yet others completely underperforming. This current topic is the offproduct of the statements of the lesion between the union reps and the company, to which this individual has already been replaced. They were pushing for a distribution of earnings based on how their respective sector performed.
Also not to be outdone, wronged workers are doing what wronged workers do best. A strike is planned for the near future, and Samsung is currently responding by cutting production quotas in advance. It is not a company wide strike, rather it is a strike of just the specific division of Samsung that's getting lesser earnings. The union seems to see that amid the AI craze, their underperforming sector is at risk of being diminished, even if only temporarily.
I can add more, but I dont wanna interpret for others and I think I've done that enough already. Its not a long or bad read, y'all can see for yourself.
