Samsung workers plan to strike 'indefinitely' in risk to global tech

Quick Summary:

SEOUL - Samsung Electronics Co's largest labour union of more than 30,000 workers declared an indefinite strike, a surprise move that raises the risk of production disruptions at the world's largest memory chipmaker.

The union's call for a general strike sharply escalates a dispute with South Korea's biggest company.

"Samsung will ensure no disruptions occur in production lines,” the company said in a statement.
