CHENNAI: Samsung India employees’ union on Thursday issued a notice to strike at the company’s consumer durables facility, nearly after a month of withdrawing protests.
The CITU-affiliated Samsung India Thozhilalar Sangam has taken the decision demanding to stop discriminatory wage agreements, revoking suspension of 23 employees and allowing them back to work, among other demands, it said in a statement. The union alleges Samsung provides selective salary hikes to weaken the registered trade union.
This comes after a month-long protest in the manufacturing facility, including a sit-in protest inside the plant premises starting from February 5 against the suspension of employees. Union later withdrew protests on March 7. Similarly they protested for more than a month, which ended on October 16, 2024. Samsung earlier denied allegations.
