Samsung Biologics and its labor union have resumed discussions regarding wage increases and improvements to personnel policies. This marks the first dialogue since the labor-management talks on May 28, approximately 20 days ago.

According to industry sources on June 16, the two sides primarily exchanged views on the future format of their discussions rather than specific agenda items.

The Samsung Biologics labor union, part of the Samsung Group's overarching labor federation, initiated a partial strike involving around 60 members in late April after negotiations with management broke down.

This was followed by a full strike from June 1 to June 5, which saw participation from over 2,800 workers.

Since June 6, the union has been engaged in a compliance campaign, refusing to work overtime or on holidays.

Starting today and continuing until June 18, the Samsung Biologics union will hold a general assembly. Following this, a vote will be conducted among union members from June 24 to June 28 regarding the withdrawal from the Samsung Group's overarching labor federation and amendments to the union's regulations.
