Samsung's tentative profit-sharing deal with its largest labor union averted an 18-day strike just days ago, but the agreement has triggered internal conflict that’s now threatening the company's ability to ship AI memory on schedule, according to a Seoul Economic Daily report published yesterday.
It’s understood that meetings are being canceled across Samsung's non-memory and shared business units. That work negligence has become widespread in the foundry and TSP (Test & Package) divisions, which handle the back-end packaging and testing work essential to producing high-bandwidth memory. One source told the publication that “decision-making on major projects has come to a complete halt,” as inter-departmental resentment deepens over the bonus gap.
