Bond.az - Samsung Electronics shares fell 7.6% on Friday after the company's largest labor union said it would proceed with a planned strike starting May 21.

The National Samsung Electronics Union remains committed to an 18-day strike, though it is open to new talks after June 7. Government-mediated negotiations collapsed earlier this week.

The union is demanding removal of bonus caps and a profit-sharing scheme tied to operating earnings. Workers also cite a compensation gap with rival SK Hynix.
