Samsung strike halted? Union agreed to resume talks after getting permit.

Summary：On Thursday, the Samsung Workers' Union announced that it had obtained strike authorization. However, on Friday, Samsung announced that it would resume negotiations with the union.

Samsung Electronics and its largest labor union have agreed to resume negotiations on Friday, following a strike that began early last week, both parties confirmed.

Nationwide Samsung Electronics Union President Son Yu-mo stated in a YouTube live broadcast that both sides plan to meet on Friday to determine a specific negotiation schedule. The union has about 30,000 members, nearly a quarter of the company's employees in South Korea.

The union is on an indefinite strike over issues of wages and benefits.

In a statement, Samsung expressed hope that the strike would be resolved quickly and confirmed that it had proposed an unconditional resumption of talks.

Analysts suggest that a prolonged strike by key employees will present further challenges for Samsung, the world's largest memory chip maker, which is striving to compete in the artificial intelligence semiconductor field.

Samsung stated that the strike has not affected chip production.
