The Samsung Electronics union has announced plans for an 18-day strike starting May 21, involving over 50,000 employees, after wage and bonus negotiations with management collapsed. The dispute centers around performance bonuses being lower than those of rival SK Hynix. Despite management's apologies and offers to resume talks, the union intends to strike, potentially disrupting memory chip production. The news caused Samsung's stock to plunge 9.3% intraday, with analysts estimating potential operating profit losses of up to 31 trillion won.
