Samsung Electronics and its union, locked in a sharp dispute over performance bonuses, failed to reach an agreement after an overnight second post-adjustment meeting. The Central Labor Commission said it suspended the second post-adjustment session between labor and management at around 12:30 a.m. on the 20th and will resume negotiations at 10 a.m. Choi Seung-ho, chair of the Samsung Electronics branch of the pan-company union, told reporters after the suspension that he would remain in the commission’s meeting room to await the resumed talks. Earlier, Samsung and the union held marathon negotiations for more than 14 hours starting at 10 a.m. on the 19th, but they still had not reached a deal after midnight. #SamsungElectronics #Negotiations #LaborUnion #CentralLaborCommission Yonhap News TV — For inquiries and tips: KakaoTalk/Line jebo23, Bae Gyu-bin (beanie@yna.co.kr)
