SEOUL, May 29 (Korea Bizwire) — Unionized workers of Samsung Electronics Co. said Wednesday they plan to go on a strike amid stalled wage negotiations.

The management of the South Korean tech giant and the company’s union have held rounds of talks and negotiations since January but failed to narrow their differences.

If realized, it would mark the first-ever walkout by workers at the South Korean tech giant.

“We declare a strike due to the management’s attitude of disregarding the workers,” the labor union said.
