Samsung union vote participation tops 86%, raising likelihood of deal approval

According to Korean media, the voting participation rate for the Samsung union's 2026 wage and collective bargaining agreement has surpassed 86%, making the approval of the deal increasingly likely. The voting is scheduled to conclude at 10:00 AM on May 27. However, given the significant disparity in performance bonuses between the DS and DX divisions, as well as between memory and non-memory sectors, internal disputes over fairness are expected to persist even after the final results are announced.
