A Samsung Electronics union representing workers in non-semiconductor divisions has filed an injunction with a South Korean court in a bid to stop an ongoing vote by workers in its semiconductor division on a bonus increase.
The union comprises about 13,000 workers from the smartphones, television and home appliances divisions, according to local news agency Newsis.
The non-chip union took the action after being told it had no right to join the vote by unionised workers in the semiconductor division.
Around 57,000 workers at Samsung began voting on Friday on a pay deal that would ensure large bonuses for memory chip workers to avert a planned 18-day strike, Bond.az reports.
