Samsung Preliminary Agreement Vote Turnout Exceeds 90%, Labor Conflicts Intensify Between DS and DX

According to South Korean media reports, as of 10 a.m. on the 26th, the ratification vote turnout for the tentative agreement had reached 90.45%. Out of approximately 57,302 eligible voters, over 51,835 had participated. The voting will end at 10 a.m. on the 27th. Meanwhile, opposition centered around the DX Division is intensifying. Samsung Donghaeng Union filed an injunction with the Suwon District Court this morning, requesting a suspension of the vote on the preliminary agreement. The Donghaeng Union argued that while they had previously stopped participating in the joint bargaining group, excluding a minority union from the vote on that basis alone is impermissible. In contrast, the Samsung Electronics Labour Union stated that since the Donghaeng Union has withdrawn from the joint bargaining group, its members are not entitled to participate in this vote.
