In May 2024, South Korea’s Samsung Electronics Company Ltd. (SEC) faced its first-ever strike in its 55-year history, as the National Samsung Electronics Union called for a one-day work stoppage on June 7, 2024, to demand better pay. The strike targeted SEC’s semiconductor division, which produced critical components like memory chips, universal serial bus drives, and camera sensors. This division, once a leader in global semiconductor revenues, had fallen to third place by 2023, trailing Intel Corporation and Nvidia Corporation, and recorded its largest financial loss since the company’s founding. Amid mounting challenges from the artificial intelligence (AI)–driven market and declining revenue, the strike intensified pressure on SEC’s leadership. Jun Young-hyun, head of the semiconductor division at SEC, framed the AI era as both a challenge and an opportunity. The strike underscored the need for SEC to manage labour negotiations carefully to mitigate operational disruptions and safeguard its competitive position in the semiconductor industry.
