A Samsung Electronics labor union is preparing a general-strike rally next month outside the home of Chairman Lee Jae-yong, and a shareholder group has announced a counterprotest.
Yonhap News Agency reported on the 26th that the Korea Shareholder Movement Headquarters, which has opposed the union’s activities, notified police it will hold a rally from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on May 21 outside Lee’s residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul’s Yongsan district.
The gathering is widely seen as a response to the general-strike plan by Samsung Electronics’ companywide union. The union plans to hold its own rally at 1 p.m. the same day outside Lee’s home to announce its general-strike plans.
The reported number of participants for the shareholder group’s rally is about 30.
