Samsung $400,000 worker bonuses near approval after clearing legal challenge — non-chip employees in line for just $4,000 launch last-minute bid to scupper deal with union
Samsung Electronics is set to approve a significant bonus package for its semiconductor employees after a court dismissed a legal challenge from non-chip workers. The deal will provide memory chip employees with bonuses of approximately $400,000, while their colleagues in other divisions will receive much less. Despite the court ruling, opposition to the deal remains from other union groups within the company.
- ▪A South Korean court dismissed an injunction from Samsung's consumer electronics workers to block a bonus deal.
- ▪The bonus package allocates 10.5% of the semiconductor division's operating profit as stock-based bonuses and 1.5% in cash.
- ▪The deal is expected to benefit around 78,000 semiconductor employees, with individual payouts varying significantly by unit.
