Samsung Electronics and its labor union have agreed to resume negotiations on May 16, following the replacement of the company's chief negotiator as requested by the union.
According to Yonhap News, Choi Seung-ho, chairman of the Samsung Electronics branch of the Samsung Federation of Trade Unions, announced that the chief negotiator has been changed from Vice President Kim Hyung-ro to Yeom Young-gu, head of the Device Solutions People Team.
Choi noted, "I have been informed that not all agenda items are ready yet," adding that Yeom is on his way and a meeting is planned.
Choi also mentioned that Vice President Kim has agreed to participate in the negotiations without making statements to facilitate understanding of the process.
Regarding Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong's public apology, Choi stated, "Employees joined the union due to a breakdown of trust with the company. In the Device Solutions division, 85% of employees are union members, essentially making them all part of the union."
