India: Samsung Chennai factory workers strike over wages, working conditions, and union recognition

Samsung

After 37 days of striking, workers at Samsung’s Sriperumbudur plant near Chennai are set to resume work following discussions between representatives of the workers, led by the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), and Samsung’s management. The strike, which began on September 9, focused on demands for better wages, improved working conditions, and formal recognition of the newly formed Samsung India Workers Union, which is backed by CITU. Workers alleged that Samsung resisted recognizing the union, asserting that it would impact the company's business interests and trademark rights.

During the strike, Samsung reportedly warned workers via email that their actions constituted an "illegal strike" and invoked a "No Work, No Pay" policy, stating that wages would not be paid for the strike period. Samsung also allegedly cautioned that employees could face dismissal if they did not return to work within a specified period. Despite these warnings, approximately 1,100 of the plant’s 1,750 employees continued the strike, disrupting production at the facility, which manufactures consumer appliances such as refrigerators, TVs, and washing machines. Compounding the situation, the South Korean company is planning job cuts of up to 30% in some overseas divisions, including in India.
