Samsung Electronics and its South Korean labour union began another round of government-mediated talks on Tuesday to break an impasse in negotiations over pay and bonuses and avert the biggest strike in the tech conglomerate's history.
The two sides are under mounting pressure to prevent an imminent strike by 45,000 workers that could hurt the Korean economy and global supply chains by disrupting chip production. South Korea's prime minister threatened over the weekend to step in through emergency arbitration to resolve the crisis.
