According to Inside Retail Asia , Samsung is facing its biggest-ever strike threat as a dispute over AI-era bonuses has exposed deep divisions within its semiconductor business.
The conflict centers on how the company allocates bonuses amid the AI boom, with workers demanding a larger share of profits from the chip division, which has seen soaring demand for memory chips used in AI systems.
If a strike materializes, it could disrupt production of critical components, potentially impacting global supply chains that rely on Samsung's semiconductors for everything from smartphones to AI servers.
