SEOUL, November 13 (AJP) - Labor disputes are deepening at Samsung Biologics as its unionized workers continue their strike, which began last week, entering the second week of their partial walkout. The biopharmaceutical company said on Friday that about 500 workers are participating in the strike, which began on Nov. 6 and is scheduled to run through Nov. 27, but no production disruptions or business losses have been reported so far.
Wage-related talks are scheduled to resume next Tuesday after a planned bargaining session earlier this month fell through. Adding another variable to the negotiations, the union is seeking to join the Federation of Korean Trade Unions, with an online vote scheduled to run through Nov. 18. The move is expected to strengthen the union's bargaining power and expand its activities beyond the company, potentially adding to tensions with management.
