⚡️👀 NEW - Samsung chip workers have rejected a one-time bonus of $340,000 each and want yearly profit-sharing payments like those at rival company SK Hynix, where workers are expected to receive about $477,000 this year and nearly $900,000 next year.
The Samsung union wants the company to share 15% of its profits with chip workers annually as bonuses because Samsung is making a lot of money now from strong demand for AI chips, but the union says its workers get paid much less than those at SK Hynix.
If no deal is reached soon, the workers plan an 18-day strike starting May 21 that experts say could cost Samsung up to $11.7 billion
