South Korea court orders Samsung union strike to not impact chip volume

SEOUL – A South Korean court granted on May 18 a partial injunction requested by Samsung Electronics ordering the company’s union in the country to ensure its strike does not cut into production volume, a court spokesperson said.

The court also said in the ruling that union action must not lead to the degradation of materials used in the world’s largest memory chip maker’s production, the spokesperson said by telephone.
