Donghaeng Union, composed mainly of Device eXperience (DX) employees, will hold
a mass rally outside Samsung Electronics' Seocho, Seoul headquarters less than
three months after a wage agreement. The union demands the company grant 1,000
treasury shares to each DX employee, arguing May’s wage deal widened
performance-pay gaps between DS (semiconductors) and DX (smartphones, TVs,
appliances) and left DX staff relatively disadvantaged. The union says 49,345 DX
employees who were on the payroll last month would be eligible, totaling 49.345
million shares; at an assumed ~250,000 won per share, the stock value would
exceed 12 trillion won.
