Background

• AI 데이터센터 수요에 의해 촉발된 전 세계적인 RAM 부족 현상이 이미 휴대폰, PS5, 라즈베리 파이의 가격을 끌어올리고 있습니다.
• 상황이 악화되면 반도체 제조업체에 대한 압력이 더욱 커질 수 있습니다.

Union demands

The union is asking Samsung to match rival chip maker SK Hynix on compensation, specifically:

• Removal of Samsung’s cap on bonus pay
• Allocation of more money for bonuses
• Increases to base salaries

Rally details

• According to AP News, an estimated 40,000 union members attended a rally on Thursday outside Samsung’s Pyeongtaek chip‑manufacturing facility in South Korea.
• If the union and management cannot reach an agreement, the union plans an 18‑day strike.
