Samsung Group’s largest labor union agreed to sit at the negotiating table once again with management ahead of a proposed general strike on May 21.
The Samsung Electronics chapter of the Samsung Group United Union said on Friday that it will enter a follow-up mediation process.
The decision was made following a meeting with Kim Do-hyung, the chief of the Gyeonggi branch of the Ministry of Employment and Labor, as well as a tripartite meeting involving labor, management and government officials, the same day.
The follow-up mediation sessions are scheduled to take place on Monday and Tuesday.
“If we do not see satisfactory results, we will move forward with a general strike without hesitation,” said Choi Seung-ho, the head of the union chapter.
