The company’s employees went on strike, demanding higher wages, an 8-hour workday and union recognition.

In India, on October 1, approximately 600 employees of Samsung Electronics, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of semiconductors and computer chips, as well as members of the trade union were detained for organizing a protest in street DW reported it.

According to the police, the protesters were detained because “their procession caused a public nuisance.”

It noted that thousands of South Korean company employees have been on strike since September 9, demanding higher wages, an 8-hour workday and union recognition.

Over the past four weeks, thousands of Samsung employees in India have gone on strike over working conditions at its manufacturing facility in Chennai and elsewhere.

The union says at least 10,000 company employees have been detained since September 9. Most of those detained have since been released.

However, local media have reported hundreds of arrests in recent weeks.

Recall that in September, workers went on strike at a Boeing plant on the West Coast of the United States. Many workers were outraged by the proposed 25% wage increase, insisting on the originally requested 40% wage increase.

Earlier, in June, major labor unions in Nigeria went on strike to demand higher wages. The action led to power outages and the operation of major airports was affected.
